I am here to lost 143 lbs -

starteam144

My starting weight was 365, the heaviest I have ever been in my life that I know of. I have diabetes, Hypothyroidism and Hashimoto's (an auto immune disease). I had lost weight and was down to 222 using FA and when I stopped going I gained I all back. Being obese has made me really sad and depressed but today I get its MY JOURNEY. I believe in God and that his grace will see me back to a normal healthy weight. Thus far I have already dropped 5 lbs just this week. At my weight I burn calories realy quickly. I am swimming and being active eating low carbs and low sugar. I tend to want to eat what I want to eat but I realize that compulsion is MY ENEMY. I am ready to fight. I have many reasons to fight and reach this goal for my friends and family but one person in particular - a very sweet and kind man I met at church. He is losing weight and I want to do the same. Neither one of us likes being fat and we both have the same health issues and shame around our appearance. I am doing this for myself and for him and for all those who love me including my dear saviour Jesus Christ.
