OK Here is who I am...
I have been on here for a few weeks and I have asked some questions on the daily low carber forum. I decided it was time to introduce myself, and I am gonna lay it all out for ya.
I am 31 years old. Been struggling with weight for the last 7 years or so. I was always built kinda "normal" I wore size 5 and 7 in high school and college. Then I gained about 50 pounds in less than 6 mos. with NO change in my eating habits! I got super depressed. I saw many Dr.s and a couple YEARS later thay tested my thyroid and found that I was hypothyroid. They put me on Synthroid and I lost about 30 lbs in about 3 months, but my whole world felt like it was speeded up and sad - the Synthroid made me unable to sleep more than a few hours at a time, I was really moody and depressed, and I felt like I was on some type of speed. Now, a few years later, I am a lil more adapted to the Synthroid, although my doses change regularly. I still have insomnia really bad, but I am much less emotional. The weight thing - well, after the loss of 30 I gained about 20 back. And here I am. I probably weigh more than my scale, I think it is on the light side, but the figures I show are from my daily scale. I was 165 about 3 weeks ago when I started low carbing. I lost 7 pounds since then, and it has been a tough road. I am gettin better, but I wish to see more dramatic change (I guess we all do, huh?) The week I started this all I found out the guy I have been seeing for the past 13 years (time off here and there) has been lying to me and sleeping with (get this) one of my mothers 50 year old friends! Talk about stressing me out. I confronted him, and he lashed out at me and we have not spoken in 2 weeks. Kind of hard to handle. We have been best friends and lovers for so long. And I am trying this new way of eating and feeling a bit discouraged. So, that is who I am and what is going on with me. I sure look forward to the support I have been recieving on these forums, and hopefully I will see some more results soon.
