Hi all!
This blog is to track my progress, thoughts, struggles and triumphs!
My youngest is 4 and I started a long four year journey of medications to help with a misdiagnosis, that turned out to be General Anxiety Disorder (GAD). I had my youngest and started meds when he was 6 weeks old.
During the last 4 years, I have taken more than a dozen kinds of medications with different dosages and multiple doctors, their ideas, thoughts, and prescriptions. I had lost almost all of my pregnancy weight when starting my medications. I had every side effect humanly possible from my meds: hair loss (embarrassing), memory loss (embarrassing), insomnia, and the best one....20 pound weight gain (embarrassing).
I have had no motivation to lose the weight that I have gained, because quite frankly I didn't feel like it was my fault. I wasn't sitting on the couch eating twinkies gaining weight. I was still active and eating healthy and gaining weight! All because of meds. So then I thought who cares and have ate like crap for the last year and quit caring about how I looked.
Well, here I am, the final days in 2012 and have poor self image and see my boys eating junk too. My genetics are against me. I come from a family of overweight members. I don't want to see myself or my kids take the same path. So I am going to Make It Happen In 2013!! I challenge you to do the same, along side of me. We can support and encourage each other along the way.
Tomorrow will be implementing a schedule for exercise into my crazy life.
:-) MacKenzie
