| Weight Loss |
I signed up for Weight Watchers again. This has got to be at least my fourth time trying to get this right. I stepped on the sscale to day and weighed in at 220, wearing just a thin nightgown. This is my highest weight ever.
Let me give this some background, I am 29 years old and have no children. I am an Internal Auditor and as such, I get to travel all around the world. In the past 6 months, I've left my home, NYC 6 times. But I don't truly enjoy it because I use my weight as an excuse to avoid going out, taking pictures, and essentially iving life. I use that as my reason for not talking to the cute guy at the bar, feeling uncomfortable presenting findings in a meeting, even when conducting interviews I feel like a fat cow. and I'm afraid that I'm going to get on a plane one day and the stewardess is going to tell me that I'm too big to fit in my seat. It's not only a physical issue, it's also a health issue. My mother passed away 3 years ago after struggling with Breast Cancer, and she was always healthy. I know that being overweight, neigh being obese (even morbidly) greatly increases my risk of breast cancer. And I avoid going to the doctor because I'm afraid that they will tell me that I do have the dreaded C disease,or something just as deadly like diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease. The list goes on and on. My sister is a cardiologist and she has been warning me about the increased risk of disease related to weight.
Now at over 200 pounds and 5'5", I am morbidly obese. I have nose bleeds more and more frequently, a sign of high blood pressure. I have been experiencing extreme heartburn, which can be GERT (heart disease). If I dont get my weight under control I can die before I reach age 35, from any one of these diseases. I know that it is very serious, yet I can't seem to get control of it. This is my last chance. My goal is to reach a healthy weight of 150, by my 30th birthday on November 26th. That gives me 10 months (42 weeks; 299 days) to lose about 70 pounds.
I don't know if I'm going to make it. I don't even know if I'll last a day or even a week but I will use this blog to help me keep track of my progress or lack thereof. Wish me luck, because my life depends on it.
