Where it all began...

My story is probably like so many you may have heard... When I was thin I thought I was fat, so I started dieting at about age 14.  Anyone who knew me way back when could probably tell you that I was never cheerleader thin, but I was far from fat.  So began the destruction of my metabolism.

These changes to your body never show up immediately it's always years down the line when you really need your body to cooperate!  After my third child I found myself unable to lose weight easily, and then the weight loss stopped completely.  I moved to Oregon 13 yrs ago and over the years I have gained 98lbs.  My thyroid is out of whack, I am now in insulin resistance (not diabetic) and my cholesterol levels have climbed.  In 2009 I did manage to lose 20 some odd pounds. 

So here I am, I need to lose 100lbs.  I eat healthy when I eat, I have no appetite, trust me when I say this is NOT a fork to mouth problem.  When you are overweight it is so easy for everyone to just assume that you eat too much or eat the wrong things, I would really like to see these myths dispelled but it probably won't happen in my lifetime.  On suggestion of my Dr. I have decided to embark on a new journey and do something I said that I would never do and that is to begin a round or two of hCG (human chorionic gonadotrophin). The real stuff people... not the BS you can buy online... I am being seen at a medical spa where I recieve my weeks worth of supplies and then go home and inject myself nightly.  Thankfully my wonderful hubby is coming on this journey with me, but his is another story!
