has to go. I have so much weight to lose it is not funny, so I am making small goals. I have lost 20 pounds, but need to do that 4 more times.
My main problem: my thyroid is so bad that one thyroid med does not do the trick, I have to take FOUR different pills every day. That is how I gained the weight in the first place, I was always very fit, then this happened. The only way I lost 20 to begin with was because I started Loestrin for something else and somehow it kicked me into losing weight.
My second problem: I have had virtually every eating disorder known to man since I was a teenager. Except anorexia, that won't happen. Mostly I am a binge eater. I am completely powerless over it. I know this, and I fight it every day, but it still gets me.
Third problem: I like beer. Especially when it is hot. That being said, I have not had a beer in a WEEK. I am not a full on drunk, I just really like the beer--and like everything else, if I am doing it, I am doing it big. I was on vacation last week, and of course that usually involves celebrations, but I only had two major days---better than everyone else in our group. I have not had a beer since I got home. That is good for me. I refuse to completely deprive myself though, or I get miserable---just trying to hold out until I really want one for real.
Fourth problem: In the summer time, I honest to God do not have time to exercise. At least not at the gym--I go to work in the morning, then when I get off at nite, I have 45 horses to care for---along with numerous other things that have to be done. I have been getting in at nite at around 9:30 this week. In the winter, I work out every day---, but it aint winter now is it? I swim some but there is not enough time to do what I need to do.
Fifth problem: I already dont do all the things they tell you not to do if you want to lose weight. I dont eat candy or sweets very often, I dont drink coffee with gunk in it--I drink tons of water every day---
I joined the Sparks thing, but have not had time to get rolling on it---I will try.
