One last time

Well, this is the last time I try this. I'm tired of lossing weight and then becuase of the illness that I have to gain that weight again.

I'm 25 years old, and I've been having overweight since I was 7 yeards old. I've been throught anorexia and bulimia during my teenage years and since then I've been dealing with COE (compulsive over eating). I have hipothyroid and I'm really obsessive about it, and all because I have it. I didn't ask for this to happend and make so much problems in my life. The illness is really hard (in my case) to treat, I go throught good and bad months all the time.

I want to lose 56kg (I weight 126.7kg and my goal is to weight 70kg), it's what I have to lose to be in a normal healthy weight, I don't really care how much time it takes to lose all this weight I just want to reach my goal.The mothods I'm going to use to reach are taking my medication for the hipothyroid, going to the doctor when I have to,and take daily walks, once I get used to the exercise I will go back to swiming and of course I will make diet.

One of my friends is going to make the diet with me (she has to lose weight, but as much as I have), so we decided to make the diet together, so I won't feel lonely.

I believe my goal is realistic, it's the normal weight that I need to have for the height that I have.

I started a long time ago, this is just the last part of my journey, I'm getting back on track, but I mean it, it's the last time, I'm not strong enough to go throught all this again, and like somebody once said: Weight loss is a journey, not a Destination. So I think it's time for me to end this journey.

Day 2

I woke up around 11am feeling sick, it's the middle of the summer here where I live and we're having really hot days. I don't deal with the heat, I get sick, I don't sleep well and I feel bad all day long. I went to bed at 5am and I woke at 11am, so I didn't sleep much.

When I woke up I took my medication and after waiting 30 minutes I had my breakfast, I had cereals with milk and then I started to do things I had left from work.

At lunch I wasn't so hungry, so I only had an omelet and then an aple. I rather have that at not eating at all.

In the afternoon I was not feeling well to work out, so I went out with one of friends for a walk.

I came home a few hours ago and I'm still feeling a bit sick. I really miss the winter.

In another time I would have had an ice cream when I went out, not this time, I did drink a lot of water, is important for me to drink a lot of water.

I really miss the winter

I have to go to the doctor on Thursday morning, and I will know how much weight I lost

Day 4 I don't know why I'm counting days, LOL

Hot days, I HATE THEM. Yesterday and today were really hot, thank God is raining and with luck the temperature will go down a little bit.

Yesteday I spent the day with my blode pressure a little low, so I stay in home, drink a lot of water and rest.

I've been eating less, I don't get hungry with this hot days. I eat only because I know I have to not because I want to eat. So I'm eating a lot of salads and fruits.

Today was a little bit better, I was feeling good so I went out to take a walk in the afternoon.

I hope tomorrow is not so hot in here

It's not a journey that ends. It's something you'll be doing the rest of your life. That's the whole point of calling it a journey, isn't it?

I know what you mean, but for me losing the overweight is one journey and keeping myself in a normal weight (once I'm done losing the overweight) it's another journey.For me it's like 2 different things.I know I will always have be careful with what I eat, that's never going to change
 
Ohh what a day. I'm really tired. We're about to deal with 2 big projects at work, so most of my time is going there.

I woke today at 7:30am, took my medication, took a shower, had cereal and milk for breakfast and an aple. Then I went to my doctor's appointment.
Everything went well, my thyroid hormones are normal (thank God) I was scare my doctor my have to change the dose of my medication again.

I lost 1.7 Kg and I'm really proud of myself. I haven't been doing much exercise because of the hot weather here and also because I'm still recovering from a broken toe (I broke my big left toe, 2 weeks ago). I've been doing all the exercise I can before feeling too much pain or sick (because of the weather)

I hope tomorrow is not hot I don't want to feel sick.

I have to go see my doctor in one month, for now I have to keep doing my diet and exercises.
 
It 's been a really normal easy day.

I'm a little nervous about tomorrow. First I have a workd meeting (we always have them on Sundays), but then we're all going to a party. That makes me nervous, I have COE and it's not easy for me to be around food, when I'm around people I don't know. I know I won't eat, I just can't

Thanks

Well today wasn't so hard, I had the metting of work and then we went out to eat, I order a salad (I wasn't really hungry)
I thought I wasn't going to be able of actually eating, I don't like to eat when there's people I don't know. But think time I had not problem at all.
 
I hate the summer, the hot days are making me so sick. I haven't been able of working out for 3 days now, becuase I've been having problems with my blood pressure and having headaches all day long.

I'm doing my diet, and hoping for colders days to come, so I can work out.

I hate been home all day just because if I go out I will get sick, I can faint at any minute because of how hot the weather is here and I really don't want that.
 
Well, today...

I finally was able of working out, I went to the Gym and I worked out for 2 hours, then I went for a walk.
The diet for me is easy, so that is still good.
I have to go to the doctor on February, so I will know how much weight I lost this month.

A single question has been in my mind. Is it important to take a picture of me right now, so I can keep track my weight loss? Is that going to help me in some way?
 
I'm still are thinking about the picture thing, LOL I know myself I will be thinking about that for a long time before deciding what to do.

I've been eating less than normal, the hot weather is making me sick, my stomach is been hurting for 2 days now, so I prefer not to eat much, but I do drink a lot of water, I haven't been able of working out, I've been feeling so week, I can barely make the simple things of my house, so I've been resting and waiting to feel a bit better.

I so wish the winter was here already, so I can get better
 
I know the heat at the moment is a killer, Have you tried an early morning workout ? I feel the heat badly but do my training sessions early before the heat gets too bad.

That's what I've been doing for the last few days.

Today I couldn't workout, the weather was really hot and high all day long and I got really sick, I had to take medication and rest all day, because I was feeling really bad.
I've been eating a little bit more, I still drink a lot of water, but I've been able of eating a bit more.

Hang in there Maylet... you'll see that the more you loose... the more focused and motivated you become. 1.7kg is a great start.

Where are you from?

As far as the photo is concerned I have been taking once a week... you have no idea how much those photos have motivated me... the thing is, for me, I still see myself as huge... even when I look in the mirror I battle to see myself accurately... but for some reason the photos bring the truth home... also... at the beginning seeing a photo of yourself exposing all our yukkie fat rolls is a huge motivator... I kept a copy of my 'before' photo on my cell phone... helps when you want to put some tasty morsel into your mouth to pick up your phone and have a look at what those tasty morsels did to your body in the first place!!

Thank you so much for your words. I'm from Argentina and right now we're havng a hard summer, it's been getting really hot in here.

Today was a bit more easy, I haven't been able of working out as much as I want yet, but I do what I can before feeling sick. I'm been eating more too. The hot weather makes feel that I'm not hungry, but I've been eating.

Today for breakfast I had my cereal with a milk (the only think I like)
For breakfast a made myself an omelett and a salad (rise,carrot and some tomato)
Of course I've been taking a lot of water.

I hope I make it through the day, today is hot in here as it was yesterday, so maybe I'm lucky and I won't get sick.

Well today was easy, yesterday not so much

Yesterday I got sick again, I almost faint, so I spent the rest of the day in bed sleeping. In the night a eat only because I knew I have to, otherwise I wouldn't have done, I wasn't hungry at all. So I have a small salad and then I went to bed again. This hot weather really is making me sick. I hope the winter comes soon, because I hate being this sick all the time.

Today was a little bit more easy, I didn't workout because I'm still feeling weak, but I had an easy day. I have cereal and milk for breakfast, then for luch I have chicken and rise with tuna sauce, in the afternook I took some milk and I ate 2 apples. And now in the night my mom made empanadas (is a typical food here in Argentina) I only ate 3 because I wasn't so hungry. I spent the day driking water.

I have to go to the nutritionist on February 10, and that day I will know how much weight I lost since the last visit and I also have to go to the endocrinologist on February 8, she has to see the last blood test I have done and if everything is okay I don't have to see her for 6 months.

Easy day today. It's so hot in here, so I was able of working out. I still not that hungry, so I've been eating, just because I know I have to eat.
Regular breakfast (cereal and milk)
For lunch, a salad (I wasn't hungry at all)
And now I just have an apple and a glass of milk
 
So 9 days went by. It's been the much of the same, hot weather is still really hard, so I've been working out a little bit everyday before starting to feel sick.
I went to the endocrinologist yesterday and everything went well, I have to go to the nutritionist tomorrow and I will find out how much weight I lost.
I'm still on with the same diet and it's been working good so far
 
10 days and everything is going back to normal. I'm still on my diet and finally I can workout, the hot weather is not so bad, so that's good.
I couldn't go to the doctor, so I have to go on March 11 and then I will know how much weight I lost. I can't wait to find out
