Hi all
So I got through my first day but that was tough! About me, I'm 33 and need to lose weight to start fertility treatment, I was always underweight for my height and was a size 10 - 12 until I had a very stressful episode in my life and was diagnosed with an under active thyroid, this is hereditary and my mum and sister both have it. I put on a lot of weight in a short space of time about ten years ago and have been struggling ever since. In 2007 I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes which I have struggled to come to terms with. Two years ago I wanted to get pregnant and at that time you had to take insulin instead of tablets to control the diabetes, this caused me to put loads more weight on and I am starting exante at 16 st 6llb and a size 20, I'm fortunate that I am 5ft 9 so can carry off a bit of weight but not this much, I am an apple shape so look like a barrel, my weight is all boobs and stomach. So I want to get pregnant but have irregular periods, the infertility clinic want to prescribe me clomid but have said I need to lose weight first, I'm useless at sticking to diets and have tried many other ways to try and lose weight including expensive hypnotherapy and pills which haven't helped me. My first day yesterday was pretty horrific, I felt I'll all day and so hungry, however I want a baby so I am determined to do this so here's to day two, I'll let you know later how it's gone! X
