ONCE AND FOR ALL.

Sierrasmommy

OK so I am really really really trying to get healthy. This year has been a topsy turvy time for me. First off, I am 32 years old, 6 ft tall, and weigh about 293... I have not fluctuated much in weight since my daughter was born and despite trying to lose, have always failed miserably. Well this year, around March, I started having some health issues. I began passing out randomly. Literal black outs with no warning. Since March my health issues have gotten worse, not beter, and the passing out has in fact increased. The drs have yet to figure out why and after a mirage of tests and hospital stays, as well as taking me off medicines I was on completely, we are still at a loss. Meds which included anti depressants, insomnia, migraine, and anxiety medications. I do have hydrocephalus and a vp shunt but this has been ruled out as to being a cause of my issues... the search sadly continues. Well despite my fun times, I have graduated with my Bachelors in teaching this past May, and I am about to begin my Masters! Sadly, my health issues have gotten worse and my drs have restricted me from working and driving until we can solve my issue. Ok so rambling.... sorry!!!

After 3 weeks of utter medication withdrawals and depression as to my current circumstances, I decided that maybe if I tick to getting healthy, the issues will take care of themelves. Maybe they wont. But what do I have to lose???? SO my goal is to drop the weight once and for all. Im not making a huge goal, Im not trying to look bikini skinny by summer next year, Im just trying to get healthy once and for all.

SO with that said. I am on day 3 of my dieting, per the standards of what MFP has laid out for me. Ive no clue if Im doing this right or wrong. SO Im hoping and I am looking for friends to hold me accountable ,and encourage me cuz I am and can be very hard on my self, plus Im easy to give up. I dont need that!!! I need to do this!!! All my stuff is public, as far as I know... so i have no problem with anyone telling me how they think Im doing or constructive criticism, tips, w/e so I can make the most of this lifestyle change.

Feel free to add me and help me out all u can!!!! Thanks so much!!!
