Over the years I have struggled with losing and gaining weight over and over, it feels like a neverending battle which only got worse when I got diagnosed with hypothyroidism. A few years ago I was able to lose a lot of the weight I had been struggling with and then between having kids and constantly being on the run (too much fast food) I gained most of it back, then that was when I was also diagnosed with hypothyroidism. Now for the last 2 years no matter how many diets I have tried I just get stressed and worn out after only losing a few pounds a month with a whole lot of work. I feel like a lot of this stress comes from whats expected as our publics views. For example, if you have ever watched the biggest loser everyone who is overweight would love for it to just be as easy as they make it look. I mean yes they are working hard but they lose the weight in no time, but they also have no real lives there when they go home it gets a lot harder. Which is why for the rest of us it is so difficult. I have found ways to relax and use excercise to help myself concentrate on just me and this has helped me tremendously in my weight loss journey and just on the overall journey of being the me I want to be.

Hello Krystal I enjoyed reading your post. I have been over weight in the past. It can be very frustrating. I tried a few of the fad diets but you are right they do not work. What worked for me was to eat raw vegitables and drink more water. I cut down on the soda. I started walking the dog.
ReplyDeleteHello, I feel you, being overweight is no fun! I was in perfect shape before I had my kids and I gained too much weight with them. I do not have much time to work out, got to school and work my job. I know that the day will come when my life is a little less busy but right now I need to focus on graduating and getting a better job. Good luck with your weight loss and I will enjoy keeping in touch with you.
