Hi Everyone,
This is the first time I've ever tried using a forum so bear with me here, guys. Up to this point, I've been
very internal about my attempts at
weight loss and kept everything private. I wear practically
nothing on my sleeve but this seemed like a good idea so here goes...
Here's the cliff's notes version of my story:
I'm 26, newly married, dated the guy for 5 years. Gained 50 lbs in those 5 years. No kids, have hypothyroidism but was naturally athletic so I just need to get moving (hence the name of the thread).
The thing is,
YOU ONLY GET THIS ONE LIFE AND I'VE WASTED TOO MUCH OF IT NOT BEING ABSOLUTELY ECSTATIC ABOUT IT.
Here are things in my life that will change once I've gotten my health back under control:
- I will fit into my old
wardrobe, albeit outdated.
- I will have a
sunnier outlook on life.
- I will be able to play
soccer with my husband.
- I will be able to go on 20 mile daily
hikes.
- I will feel
safe getting pregnant.
- I will have more fun at beaches (and in a
bikini).
- I will love
shopping again!
- I will have more
energy.
- I will look better for my
husband.
- I will feel
sexy again. Let's be honest, here.
This is just the short list. I could go on and on; obviously there's an endless list of benefits to being healthy versus overweight...
Please join me and if you've got advice, tips,
recipes, jokes, anything that will help make this journey that is long overdue more fun and productive, please contribute. Thanks in advance.
