Ok so here it goes...
I have been dealing with being over weight since I got out of highschool and started my first office job. Then when I had my daughter it got worse. I have yoyoed over the last 11 years. Up until 2012 I mostly bounced between a 14 and a 16, but then I crossed over to an 18 in 2012 and in 2016 I reached a 20! Since then I have bounced between an 18 and 20. Earlier this year I had lost down to a loose 18, but as usual I slipped into my old ways and am back where I started. I have been carrying on for weeks about getting back on the diet wagon. It wasnt until we were on vacation last week that a strong sense of awareness came over me and I started to feel "HUGE". After getting stuck on an amusement ride I decided that was enough. I came home with a strong will to stick to it. Then on Monday night while at the grocery store a young woman decided it would be fun to call me fat and ugly for no reason as I walked off the aisle. Me ten years ago would have been ready to fight, but me as a mother decided it wasnt worth it and chose to basicly die inside. I just wanted to go home and hide, but made the decision that I needed the foods to eat healthy and stuck with my shopping trip. The next morning I signed up for this bet and I have been low carb since Sunday. I have not been walking alot, but I have a sedentary job and have been busy in the evening getting my house in order from our vacation. My plan is to start C25K Saturday and also use an at home walking progran. Along with low carb I am also doing IF. I would love to reach my goal by May but I am not going to set myself up for an unattainable goal.
