I've been trying to lose weight all my life. Top it off I just passed my 2 year surgery anniversary of having my thyroid removed due to cancer, and a few complications followed. I was active duty military in the US Navy. I've always been "big" having to be taped to pass my weigh-ins even in boot camp right after high school when I joined the Navy. I'm very embarrassed by my weight and I have come to the point that I can't take anymore.
I'm hoping to loose 50lbs but I'll settle for 40. "Conventional" diets don't work for me. I've worked out and just "toned up" but never slimmed down.
I want to. I really do, I go back and forth on whether or not because I have "big bones" and if that is the real problem or if I'm just genetically doomed to be big for the rest of my life.
My mom supports me because she had her own struggles with weight she's finally down where she wants to be (thanks to an illness), but yeah. My husband isn't per say supportive because he "likes big girls" is what he's always telling me. So I'm fighting a loosing battle on that one I feel.
But I try to go on and keep with my game plan. I'm the mother of a very active 3 year old
, okay well he's not a devil (thats me I like pulling pranks and such), but he is a very active child who has already had stitches and as bad as it sounds I'm just waiting on the day that he breaks a bone.
. I've gotten back into weaving chainmaille so on top of cooking reading and such that keeps me busy. My husband is in and out on deployments and military movements.
So yeah, thats a little about me. How are ya'll?
