Profile Information

About Me:: Hello! My name is Ann. I am a mother & a wife. I have had enough. I have decided that my life needs a huge change. Starting with food. Losing weight is hard enough but I was dx is Feb 2008 with Hypothyroidism and about 7yrs ago with PCOS. I am hoping to learn from others & their experiences. And hopefully gain some friends. But to go through it yourself is even harder. My husband stands beside me but there some things you just can not say them. Thats why I need you all....

A little more about me....
I graduated high school back in 1998. I thought I was so fat...at 148lbs. Yeah right!! After high school I was very unsure of what I wanted to do & cared more about a boyfirend who cared not one bit about me. So then came my first bad habit... I basically became anorexi c. I swear I would only eat 1 ....6pk of pb crackers & a gatorade for lunch ..then dinner a Gutted bagel ( took all the doughy bread out of the middle of the bagel )w/ 1 pc. fat free cheese & 1 slice turkey. For 5 years I did not have a goodie (cake, ice cream, chocolate) or a pop or fast food. I dropped down to a sze 3-4. 115lbs.

Then all hell broke lose my now husband (my soul mate) & I thought we were pregnant & when I went to confirm with the doctor I was informed I had PCOS. Then my new bad habit came about emotional eating...... I felt like I had let down everyone...especially myself! For 5 years we tried to get pregnant..basic (cheap) infertility treatments, study at university, and just the good old fashioned way till we were blue in the face ( No complaints there...Hee hee) with no sucess. Then we decided that adoption was the option. (we over looked it originally due to cost)
We took out a loan and a year later found ourselves in Vietnam..... Meeting our son Jacob & waiting to being him home..... He is my future. And I have to make changes for him. I want to grow old & see my grandchildren & be a kick butt mom....

anyway thats a little about me!

This site is helping to keep me motivated by reading others success stories. We are the same age and 30 is just around the corner. I want my 30th birthday to be the healthiest I've had in 20 years. You can do it!
