My Weightloss Story 1

Hey Everyone!

So I have been pretty  much over weight my entire life.  I have never felt bad for being overweight..it was just a small detail to who I was and am.  I never felt left out or didnt get to be a part of something because I was the big girl in the group of skinny girls.  My story is not a sad one..I loved high school and college...I dont have a tragic story of being made fun of..and so because of that I grew up with high self confidence.  Not saying that people didnt do it behind my back...but it didnt affect me.

Fast forward to now, I am older, married and wanting to have a baby.  But lets be honest who should have a baby at my weight.  Not stating what that actual weight is but its wayyyy more than what I should be at.  So I have through out my life been on every diet plan known to man kind..probably twice. Atkins was my favorite, I lost 60lbs but then gained it all back on pasta and mexican food.

So about two years ago I decided to get a weight lost surgery.  I went to all my appts...was mentally prepared to finally do it and on my last appt I was told that I would have to pay 5K up front for my insurance to pay the whole thing..Say what ...say who???? Um no one told me this crapola when I started months ago.  Yah that girl must have forgot to tell you your insurance changed...so none the less they saw a very upset girl storm out of that place.  So after that I kind of just lived..didnt work out ..didnt eat right all the time.

So the new year came and I decided once again...my new years resolution was to lose weight.  I just moved into my new house with my husband and we have a work out area. So I slowly started eating better here and there..nothing extreme and I wasnt even weighing myself.  I went to the Dr. in April and she did some annual blood test on me and when I got the results we were happy with the fact I had lost weight since January but the blood test showed I was now diabetic. WTF!  Me but im only 30 and people way bigger than me are not even diabetic. I was so upet...I went from never takign medication to having to take meds. This is not me...and so I have since then started changing my lifestyle. I am not perfect, I still splurge but all on a different level. I no longer have the option to not lose weight..I have to lose weight for my health but also to be able to have a baby one day.  So though im losing it slowly and though sometimes I eat a hamburger ...if I splurge I get right back on track and keep going.  I will continue to update this blog on my weight issues, goals and updates.  As of today, Sept 12., I have lost 38lbs.  My long time goal is about 120 more lbs to go.  So my journey is long but Im taking it 10lbs at a time. 

Love ya, char
