Well..here I am. Setting up my goals for 2015! It's a start, I guess.
A little about me. Back in 2005 I had some health issues. I was having bad headaches, fatigue, tired all the time and slowly having foggy eyesight in my right eye. I started a new job as a receptionist. Things were starting to worsen, headaches were unbareable. Every day with work, it seem like it was my first day. I couldn't remember some tasks and it became depressing and so frustrating. I felt so stupid at times that I couldn't grasp anything, headed in the "low self-esteem" lane and began to hate myself. The job lasted only 6 months for me, before I was fired. Needless did I know, nor did they..of why I couldn't I coudn't do a simple receptionist job. Their reasoning was, "the job was not made for you." So, emotionally and fell into more of a depression stage in my life. I made an appointment to see my physician and told him my issues. I've gone through tests after tests and MRI's. Come to find out..all along that I had a Pituitary Tumor growing that was causing my vision to become blurry as it was pinching the optical nerve. On top of that, my thyroid was not working properly. I was given medication to balance out everything as well as prednizone that made me super FAT to where I reached 240 lbs! During that time, I was having relationship issues with my sons' father, which ended in 2007. As the years moved forward, I got back on my feet..found a good job, balanced my life and got married in 2012 to a wonderful supportive man! In 2011, I had lost over 50 lbs...then gradually gained 30 of it back. I am ready to take on my goal weight and aiming to reach it by the end of 2015. My motivation has it's ups and downs. But, that's par for the course in losing. So, my journey starts now!
