Hi
I took the plunge this morning after I avoided the scale for almost 3 years. Here I am, 29 years old, feeling 99, tired all the time, and weighing in at a shocking 194lb.
I feel like I've been in crisis mode for the last 3 years with baby-duties, and all of a sudden my kids (2 and 3 years old) are potty-trained and in daycare, and I have less to do and more time to do it in! I've decided there is no time like the present, so I went out and bought THE BOOK. My problems with weight started when I was 6 months pregnant with my youngest, and losing too much weight while pregnant. I discovered that my thyroid was hyperactive, and within 10 minutes had to decide to have it removed with an emergency op because my baby was in crisis. Scared and confused, I agreed, so my baby was born 3 months early, healthy although small, but I was minus 3/4 of my thyroid. I picked up 70 pounds in 6 months, but was just thankful to be alive and have a happy healthy little girl. Long story short, here I am, overweight and miserable, and ready to take on this challenge, but a little scared it won't work. I prepared my (wonderful) husband and kids for it, cleaned out the fridge and kitchen cupboards, and stocked up on everything that is allowed, so I feel ready to start tomorrow. I've joined the gym and just finished reading the book. This was a hectic day, but I'm sure it will be worth it. Here's to the start of a new beginning and hopefully a new me!
