So I finally got sick and tired of being sick and tired and made an appointment with the doctor. I pretty much knew what she was going to tell me but I went ahead with the appointment anyways because we have a family history of diabetes and thyroid problems. After ruling out those possibilities she encouraged me to lose weight and put me on some anti-depressants. No surprise. Not at all.
That was over a month ago. The pills really help. I was really reluctant to give them a try. My mood has improved. My weight, however, remains unchanged. It's one of my sources of sadness. It is very easy for me to make excuses and just sit in front of the TV and eat. When I'm sad I eat. When I'm happy I eat. Ick! Why do I write a food blog again?
Anyways, at my check up to see how I was doing and get my test results I promised the doctor I would really really try to lose weight. I have all the tools to do so. I even have a gym membership I never use and a Wii. This Sunday I am recommitting myself to healthy eating and exercise. My husband has adorably decided to help me out by promising me prizes for #age lost. Oh, and to also nag me about it and join me in my goals. My cooking has made him a lil chubby too, lol! He just needs to shape up a little bit.
This week I pinned some resources that I hope will aid me in my goal:
