Laying in bed and I can barely breathe, I am sooo uncomfortable. Partly due to my health but the biggest reason is my WEIGHT!
I am a 28 year old female, 5’3”, and 285 lbs as of May 2020. I’ve been struggling with my weight back and forth all my life. When I completed my internship with FEMA in 2016 I was 189lbs. July 2017 I had a baby and was 238lbs when my son was born.
Feb-March 2018 rolled around and I had gotten down to 212/13lbs. It wasn’t a lot but it made a huge difference and I even went down two dress sizes. I did Keto, gym 6 days a week, green smoothies, and intermittent fasting.
I’ve been telling myself I would like to lose weight for the past 1.5 yr. I have been dealing with severe depression and agoraphobia (major anxiety) for quite some time now. Partly due to seeing my mom pass from cancer in 2016, it was such a horrible and surreal experience.
3 surgeries since Dec 2019 and arthritis in my spine have definitely changed me in a major way. My last procedure was in March. It’s like as each month goes by I gain another 14-15lbs. I am so disappointed in myself.
As I lay here in my bed very uncomfortably I am saying to myself this has to change. I am pretty sure I have gained more weight since my previous appointment a few weeks ago. I am approaching 300lbs fast and I need a serious kick in my caboose! This is a monumental moment in my life.
I have a plan and all my healthy food has been bought, meal prep containers, blender, resistance bands that physical therapy gave to me (has been in my closest for forever). I must admit I purchased months ago but still didn’t get off my arse! But it is TIME!
As a single mom this is very important, not only for myself but for my 2.5 yr son. He needs me, he needs mommy to do the things we use to do. No more excuses, it is time for me to buckle down and get serious. I am looking forward to updating you guys in about 5/6 months.
I’d greatly take any advice from this awesome community and accountability 💜
