Good Morning! Well today is my first day on the meds….I took ½ of the pill around 7:15 this morning…not quite hungry yet…I am excited about started my new journey. I will be making me some breakfest shortly.Well here is a little about me just incase you are interested...Lol! I am 28 yrs old married 6 yrs in November and have a 3 year old daughter who is full of life and keeps me going. I gained my weight after my pregnancy. Which I know is not an excuse but what happened. I let go and now I am feel the consequence’s of doing that now. I have been eating healthier now since march and have lost 8 pounds on my own. I got my correct weigh yesterday...my scale was off. I know it is not a lot of weight but hey it is a start right. I have been exercising 4-5x’s a week. I now enjoy it and feel bad if I don’t. I have learned to portion control and not to just eat if I am bored. I am not perfect and still learning. I cleaned my cabinet out of all the foods that I do not need to tempt me back in March. I also have the support of my husband. He has gained some weight too…so we are doing this together. I mainly want to do this for me…I want to look and feel healthy and to love to go shopping again. It’s depressing to do that now. I have a lot of family members who have high blood pressure so I want to get this weight under control before that becomes an issue. I had preeclampsia towards the end of my pregnancy so I had my daughter at 33 weeks…and I was blaming myself for her being born early. Thank God she was fine just had to stay in the hospital NICU for a little while. So while I was at home I ate, and ate because I felt like it was my entire fault. At first I did not want to eat and dropped all my weight quick and was back in my clothes...Then I ate when I was sad. The only time I was okay was when I was with her at the hospital…I would sit there for so many hours…But she is a healthy child now and I thank God all the time now for that…if you were to see her you would never guess she was a preemie. At all her check-ups the doctors say she is taller than average and healthy than average…so I am blessed…and want to get my health in shape so I can continue to see her grow and be happier with myself too. I do not like what I see in the mirror. I am motivated and ready for a new me. So I will continue to chose healthy choices when eating…continue to exercise drink my water daily and drop this weight. I know it will take time….but I will try as hard as I can….I hope you all have a great day!!! We can do this TOGETHER!!!
