Hi Everyone. Im not new to the site but i am new to the diary section. I have read a number of diaries and have been inspired to start my own.
I have been overweight for most of my life- more so over the last 10 years since having my son and being diagnosed with an underactive thyroid. I think the thyroid problem is finally under control and im at last on the right dosage of medication for now. So now its time to tackle the weight. I know the losses are going to be slow and im prepared for it as long as i do loose thats the main thing.
I have many reason for wanting to loose weight- the first being for health reasons as everything is a struggle at the moment. I would love to be able to do more with my son and to buy clothes from a "normal" clothes shop. There are many other reasons but the main reason is that my partner and myself would love to have another baby. We lost a baby at just under 12 weeks about 18 months ago which i have put down to weight. So having a baby is a major motivation for me.
I have tried all sorts of ways to loose weight and the only thing that seemed to work for me was weight watchers- but i always lost interest and gave up. So this time im going to try my hardest to keep motivated and to keep going even if i have a bad day or week. Im hoping having this diary to put down all my feelings etc will help along the way. I am also looking forward to getting to know you all. I have got a lot of weight to loose around 120lbs maybe more so im going to be here for a very long time.
Im really looking forward to starting weight watchers tomorrow and really know that i can do it this time.
