The Struggle

So continuing on from my last post.. I have been on this healthy weight loss journey for quite a while now. I go to an awesome weight management doctor's office located in North Charleston called Dr. Slott Weight Management. Every day I try my hardest to get my two protein supplements in as well as 6 cups of vegetables and 7oz of lean protein (with the help of an appetite suppressant or two). The team at Dr. Slott's office is AMAZING and ENCOURAGING!

I weighed in today for my two week follow up and the results could have been very discouraging (-1lb) but their support is so great there I know it's just my body adjusting to my new workout schedule as well as some other complications ;) I feel good and I really feel like i have lost inches these past two weeks. My clothes are fitting more comfortably now too! So I just shook it off (literally) and went on to Zumba :)

Promises




This is it!!


I'm restarting my blog :) for me!


This blog is mainly about my journey in weight loss and reaching personal goals!

(but of course ill probably be venting about something else here and there)


In May 2010 I officially promised my husband to start and stick with seeking out a weight loss doctor to get help for what seems like my never ending yo-yo weight loss/gain game live that I have been living since I was around 12 years old.


My lows as an adult have been in the 130's (18yrs old) and my highs have been in the 220's (23 years old). As I sit here watching the Biggest Loser's contestants loose 10-20 lbs in a week, of course I want to loose my last 30 lbs fast so I can hit the beach lookin' good this summer, but I know that that image in my head is not as important as taking my time and learning how to eat to survive and not live to eat.
