So here I am again, not day one but still starting over. Life has been rough the past few years, dealing with serious depression. I was a hermit, rarely leaving my house for over 2 years and put on a massive amount of weight. My highest weight was 306 and I believe it was around Christmas time.
Today, I weighed in at 265.6. My weight loss wasn't fueled by a desire to lose weight, it was for a desire to not be in pain. Around March I started getting really bad pains, I kinda figured it was my gallbladder as I'd had this pain off and on for over 20 years. At first it was fatty foods that caused it, but by May anything would set it off.
I finally made it to a doctor in May and started the process to have my gallbladder removed and on June 12th it was finally out! Its 2 weeks since my surgery and I've completely recovered from the surgery and not having any more gallbladder related issues.
Since as of 6/12 I'd lost 30 lbs, I've wanted to keep the not eating bad stuff thing going, I am NOT doing low carb! I am just watching my calorie intake as well as fats. Also, I'm not on a diet, I'm just eating healthy. I will still eat small amounts of not so good things every few days, this way I don't feel deprived, yet I'm not overdoing it.
Since the start of the year I've been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, sky high triglycerides and high cholesterol. So now I'm on medication for these things. Maybe one day I'll be able to ditch them.
Hubby has also gained about 50 lbs. Hopefully my success will start t rub off on him soon. I don't want to lose him over a weight related illness.
Hopefully, we will soon make the decision to start going to the gym.
