Hullo!
I'm here because i've fallen of the proverbial wagon
I'll try my best to very briefly tell my story. I've always been a very large girl. It's just something i learned to live with. When i had been married for a little over 2 years, my mother-in-law and i were discussing things, and she decided she wanted to try the Atkins diet. I wasn't quite sure i wanted to go all out Atkins, but i told her i would do a low carb diet along with her, and if i ate fruit or extra carbs i wouldn't do it in front of her
. Thus began my journey. I weighed myself a few weeks into the process, and was at 292. I'm sure i was at or above the 300 mark when i started. But lets not talk about that.
I lost 50 pounds, and was happy about it. That took me less than 4 months. I plateaued for a bit, but wasn't concerned. And then i found out i was pregnant!! ( i was 18 weeks along and had no idea!) Thanks to my weightloss, after 3 years of trying we were finally having a baby!!
Througout my pregnancy i kept up my low carb diet, and exercise. I also had gestational diabetes, but that was due to heredity. I lost a total of 10 pounds while pregnant, and when i gave birth, WHOOSH there went another 28 pounds!
After i had the baby i kept up with my diet, and continued to lose. i got down to 189 pounds! I'm pretty sure the last time i weighed less than 200 pounds i was 14 years old. Or maybe younger. I lost over 100 pounds over the course of a year and a half.
During that time (well,.. before and after the baby was born) my husband cheated on me with a skinny blond skanky whore of a teenage wench, and i basically went through ****, alone. After 8 months of it i finally had enough, and realized that soon my son would be subjected to it, and i couldn't have that. I returned to my home country, and am now living with my parents. I've been here 10 months. In that time i've managed to gain back about 40 pounds and i'm completely disgusted with myself.
I have joined curves. This weekend i will spend what tiny amount of entertainment money i have left on my low carb foods, (i have never gotten any support from my husband, we are still legally married, and i pay my parents rent to live here, i don't have much money to go on, so i hope i can do this.) and i am going to get down to my goal weight. I was so close before! I need to do this.
I need to do it for me,.... for my son,... for our future.
So here i go! I figure a little bit of encouragement from others who know where i'm at is exactly where i need to be right now.
So here's a string of pics i put together tonight. I have some full body stuff i'll post later,... but this is my progression over the 6 years i was with my husband.
My Own Little Intro
The thing to focus on is that you have kept off over 60 lbs while going through a very emotional time in your life. You realized that you had to get your weight back under control and you're working on it. That's great. I know you can do it. Look around the site, they're lots of great places to post and some very supportive people.
