Hello Everyone,
I am a 35 year old, single mother of two boy's. I started the induction period on Tuesday morning 3/25/08. I WAS the classic fat Mom. Skip breakfast, eat a huge carb. loaded lunch because I was starving and then miss dinner or eat really late.
Every year I would gain about 10-20 lbs. Activity for myself started becoming less and less. I just didn't have the energy to start the laundry, go upstairs, run to the grocery store. Everything I did had me gasping for air.
This year I went in for my routine physical. Here come the blood pressure meds. A higher dose than my 60 year old Mother. Then they hook you up to the EKG because they are thinking you have had to have had a heartattack at some point. So much for the simple PAP I was dreading.
So here I am. Dissappointed in myself and fed up with the fat me.
When I was 20 years old in the Navy I weighed around 120 lbs. At 5'7" this was actually a little underweight since my body fat percentage was at 7 %. I was a runner, a tennis player, swimmer, softball, volleyball, and could do whatever I wanted to do. But, even then I remember thinking I could loose a few pounds.
After 2 children and a horrible marriage I think I stopped caring about myself. I kept comparing myself to the old me. Now at 35 and 5'5"......I shrunk after a few back surgeries. I am 262 lbs. I am disgusting. I can not stand to have my picture taken, go shopping, date......
So here I am.............I am down 6 lbs since Tuesday........three days........I'm impressed. I must have had a ton of water stored somewhere. I'm excited to see where I will be in two weeks, 2 months, a year.
I want my confidence back and I'm not leaving here until I have it!!
