Well as 2016 is coming to and end it is time to start planning forward to the year to come and all of the new things tha it will bring. This year has been yet another yo-yoing year with the weight loss so it is time to work on changing that.
So a little back story about me. See I have pcos which has several side effects and one of those is making it harder for me to lose weight. I started trying to lose weight in 2012 which was 2 years after our youngest was born and I knew that we were done having kids. Well after 4 kids, the miscarriages and the etopic pregnancy I had gained just over 100 pounds. When I got married I weighed 145 and after the kids I was at 245. I decided to start losing weight in 2012 and for a while I was doing great. I was doing really great with it. I did great until I decided to give up smoking when I was down to 175 well after I quit the weight started coming back. Let the yo-yoing begin.
It is hard to lose weight when you get on that scale each Monday and it shows a gain even after working your tail off all week. It is really hard to stay positive and want to keep going. I started to give up and I tried off and on until Feburary 2015 to lose the weight until I got sick. After a brief hospital stay and surgery I came home to recover and I lost it. I lost the desire to work out to keep trying when all it did was lead to failure time and time again. It was easier to just not try.
Well not trying will never get me anywhere. While I have the most supportive husband one can ask for who tells me all the time that he loves me and that he didn't marry me based on my size and that no matter what size I am, how red or acne filled (yes more side effects) my face gets that he will always love me.
While he may be ok and love me as I am I am not ok with it. I don't like how I look and while I am willing to accept that I may never lose a bunch of weight I want to be healthy. I know that pcos can lead to some nasty health issues as life goes on and honestly I don't want my family to have to deal with those. So all of that being said I want to start working on losing some weight or at least making the insides of me healthier if the outsides never change.
So starting in 2017 I want to start working on making me healthier and plan to start easy. I am thinking of starting and ending my day with 25 squats and using potty breaks to do 25 squats each time too. Then because of my weight nothing to crazy just doing simple walking. Time to break ok the walking dvds and just start. Also I am thinking of trying to start following a diet plan that cuts out sugar. Not sure what it is called but that is ok. It is only the 8th so I have over half a month to work on finding recipes and meal plans.
Time to work on getting healthier in 2017. Good luck to everyone who is trying to start the new year to change how they are living and working on making themselves better.
