I have a confession to make. I thought that simply getting on the medication for my ridiculously inactive thyroid would be enough to return me to my former, thinner self.
I have lost 25 pounds, but that leaves 135 to go, and so far it's not going. I don't really eat that badly, I love my chocolate who doesn't, but I seem to be a little stuck. I can barely walk sometimes, let alone exercise, but I have to do something.
It's not even that I want to be sexy or be able to shop for clothes at regular stores that don't have to word "plus" in their name, it's that I have a daughter. I would hate for her to think that this is normal. I would hate for her to have issues about her body, like I do about mine. I want to be a role model to her, not an embarrassment.
I have a friend who is doing a weight loss program and she's lost 30 pounds so far (and I'm sure a bunch of inches because she looks like she's lost more than 30) and I am so happy for her and so insanely jealous at the same time. Sad huh?
The family is well. Shiloh is working on her colors. She can say her ABCs and count to ten in English and Spanish, so now we need to tackle colors and shapes.
Damon loves school and is tricking out all of the computers in the house. He tries to share it with me but honestly, I just want the stupid thing to work when I turn it on.
AJ is nervous about high school and Ian is just waiting for October when we go to Disneyland.
I'm still having mini nervous breakdowns trying to juggle work, school, and family but we do what we have to :)

Don't be jealous. It's super hard work. And I hate it sometimes. Oh, I woke up super late this morning and ran to my appointment with Dan and didn't remember till I was there that you were going to go with me. Next week?
ReplyDeleteAlso, I went on a walk tonight and it was super pleasant. I think we should all do that tomorrow - like right after dinner, go to the park, hang out, take our time, etc. I'll text you. ;) You're doing great, by the way.
Love you!
I wish you luck! You can do anything you put your mind to. :)I am proud of you though 25 lbs is a big accomplishment! How'd you do it? That is what I wanna lose. Good luck and keep on truckin! love you!
ReplyDeleteThe 25 pounds has just been from taking my meds. I didn't do anything different. I am happy about it, but I just want to be back to normal NOW!
ReplyDeleteI'm not going to tell you that you don't need to lose weight because I am not in your body and don't know how you feel, but I will tell you that you are beautiful to me. Good luck to both of us.
Love you too :)
