Time to get back on top of things!
I have always struggled with my weight and in April of 2014, my doctor put me on a medication to help me control my portions and help drop some of the weight. By August I was down 30 POUNDS!!!! I was beyond excited! After my last appointment with him for 6 months and a move, I let my habits slowly slip and my portion sizes started creeping up again. I had to go back to the doctor earlier this week for a sinus infection and was so dreading the weigh in! I was told that I had gained back 21 of the 30 pounds I had lost! I have felt so defeated this week.
My husband and I are playing around with the idea of starting to try for our first baby this year and this is not the body I want to carry my child in. I hate the thought of him/her being at a higher risk for issues because of my weight. I feel like becoming healthier is something I need to do not only for my self but for my furture children.
I recently found the Shaytards blog through the amazing Ellie and Jared :) and have fallen in love with their amazing family. When I saw the post yesterday about the DietBet challenge, I knew this is what I needed!
Wish me luck!
