Ok, so why are you reading this, you are asking yourself...why am I doing this blog with my buddy who lives 4 states away, who I haven't seen in 5 years, who also needs to loose some lbs because, quite honestly its a lot of work staying this fluffy and keeping up this girth! It's no fun anymore and we have decided to be eachothers support, give eachother good advice and hopefully get some laughs along the way! Ms Muffintop and I hope to share some things with you and maybe, just maybe be an inspiration to others with the same feelings and frusterations...
In the world of weightloss, there are tons of self help books, cooks, live your best life, have the best booty, blah blah blah...When there are so many gyms, programs, pills and hypnosis gurus out there helping us to loose weight why in the sweet name of my moms lovely apple pie am I still fat? Well, maybe the apple pie I just mentioned!! (PS: Have you tried her apple pie, oh my! Look her up, sweet talk her and ask nicely to have her make you one and you will understand, oh yes, you will understand...) Ok, back to weightloss--I'm just not as brave as my partner in crime here and let you know my weight, maybe later. But I have 150 lbs to lose and I want to lose it for the last time. I have tried a lot of diet programs, yeah, I have lost weight on them, but I never keep it off! I have a laundry list of health issues that I need to control. On top of the daily issues with my weight I have back problems, mood swings, acne, I'm tired all the time. Most importantly, I have Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) and insulin resistance. A lot of women suffer from these two conditions and don't even know it. Insulin resistance runs really similar to diabetes, but its not quite the real deal. Some of the symptoms include irregular periods, or none at all, issues with pregnancy, hormone issues, as well as a laundry list of issues including facial hair, blood sugar, loss of hair, and the one symptom I love the most--its really easy to gain weight and really hard to lose it! So, everytime I lose weight, I have to lose twice as hard as before.
My mom is a real inspiration, she has lost over 60 lbs and losing more and more every week. She woke up one day in April last year and decided today is the day to change. She isn't dieting at all, in fact, she eats whatever she wants, whenever she wants but she is controlling her portions. She decided to make these few simple changes and the lbs started melting away. She added excersize to her life and she still saw the pounds coming off, its like a switch went off in her head! I want to do the same thing. I don't want to count calories or obsess over each lame pound I have to lose. I'm going to make just a few changes and work up to excersizing. I currently have pneumonia and just making this decision is the first step, and right now that is all I'm going to do. As I start feeling better and recovered I'm going to start make some of these positive changes to feeling and looking better. Till next time, live your life and stop counting those chins, embrace them and accept them...they have feelings too! xoxo
