My First Blog EVER.
I just turned 33 this month. Another birthday **sigh** ...
.....and still fat. **double sigh**
I've tried, and lost about 12 pounds over the last couple months. I was 307 at the end of July. Now I'm 295. It's a start, but I can feel myself starting to slip into old habits, and the scale is starting to notice. (I was 291 a few days ago... and today 295... and i did overeat the last couple days, so yes, I brought it on myself.)
Anyway, I'd like to use this blog not only for my weight loss adventure, but my experiences with stopping the birth control pill cold turkey and getting my copper IUD and it's efects on my emotions and weight problems and it's side effects on my body. Good and Bad. Because I am CERTAIN that B.C. Pills can really screw with your body, I gained 70 pounds since starting the pill 3 years ago. and lost 12 pounds since I stopped taking them. Not to mention my mood and sex drive improvements.
Quick History.
33 years old, Grew up on the coast of Lake Erie, near Cleveland, Ohio.
I have a 15 year old son, (first time I ever reached 300 pounds was when I was pregnant with him) currently working Admin. at an established civil engineering firm.
In a relationship with MARK,who has full custody of his daughters, Tiff, 14 and Ally, 12 and along with my son, we are the perfect little "mxed family" His girls, my boy and Us-- . and we are in love. and it's great. <3
Heavy all my life. Always struggled with depression and food. (why do they always seem to go together) Divorced from a both physically & emotionally abusive marriage that I was way to young to ever have been in, in the first place.
Ashamed of my body. Hate the way I feel in it. TRAPPED. Totally against surgeries... I don't need a doctor to make me unable to eat.... I like to hope I have a little more self control than that. Starting a day by day journey FOR REAL. Time to get serious... Time to be healthy... Time to feel better physically and emotionally... Time to look great... time to put down the cake and back away from the plate slowly!
