OK...........So I wanted to start my own blog to keep track of my weight loss journey. I havent blogged in a few years so this is kinda new to me. I am hoping to use this to have a way to share my thoughts and feelings along my journey and just keep me in line and onn track. Even though I doubt anyone will read this but that's ok!
A little history on me.
I am Julie, 30 yrs old. I live in Ontario , Canada with my dh and my 11 yr old daughter. I am currently about 290lbs and looking to get down to under 200lbs, preferably abot 170lbs.
I have decided to do low carb eating (more precisely Atkins). I have tried dieting before but have no will power to stick to them for long. I am more determined than ever to sick with this and change my life for the better and stop letting my life pass me by and actually start living my life.
My biggest goal is to lose enough weight to be able to get pregnant, I am positive it is the reason I am having trouble conceiving. I believe this because I started working in July of 2010 and lost about 30 pounds and in April of 2011 I found out I was pregnant to our complete surprise as we had been "not trying and not protecting" since my daughter was born in June of 2001, and we hadn't been successful so we were shocked!
Anyways I was so excited to be pregnant and I was excited since I didnt think i was ever going to happen for us again. Well unfortunately on August 15thh 2011 a 16wks 4 days, I lost my baby and had a "late term misscarriage", I was devastated and we were determined to try again right away and I was soooo trying to be positive. Here I am 1 yr and 1 month later and we have had no luck. I want to call my doctor and see whats up but I really want to lose weight and get healthier before I get medical help. After my misscariage I went down to 255lbs but i was barely eating I was so depressed, after I went back to work and I started feeling a bit better it all came back and here I am at 290lbs and aching for a baby and not being able to do it.
Anyways, I am starting my weight loss journey on Saturday Sept. 15th and I am feeling good about it! I am so excited its ridiculous how excited I am. My daughter has vowed to help me stay on track and exercise daily, and that will be hard for me as my job is pretty physically demanding on my body, I work in a hotel as a housekeeper and by the end of my day I just wanna come home eat and plop in front of the tv, so I will have to adjust that's for sure~!
