I think I am finally ready to share this with everyone. Definately not proud of where I am but excited to work towards getting closer to where I want to be again only this time going the entire way!
I worked hard and lost 50lbs and then over the last year have put it back on. I quit smoking in dec 06 and in jan 07 was diagnosed with hypothyroid.
I have struggled with my weight for a VERY long time. My husband met me when I was 180lbs and has seen me go up to 250lbs and down to 200lbs and now back up to 250lbs. He loves me regardless but I feel like it's hard to accept all his love when I don't love myself completely because of my weight. I'm ready to let go of that way of thinking!
I "watch" not count my calories/fat/fiber intake and log everything I eat as well as my physical activity. I drink water all day during the week but need to work on it in the evening and on weekends. I again will start using my gym pass and as the weather gets nicer I have loads of opportunities to be outside walking(even while I'm at work).
My goals:
*1st goal is 200lbs and final goal is to reach 160lbs
*I dream of running - I want to run a 5k or 10k this yr. depending on progress.
*Skate at Rockefeller Center while we vacation to NYC in Dec 08!
Looking forward to meeting some great people to share this journey with. Lord knows I need all the support I can get!
