I am 34 years old, born and raised in San Francisco. I have previously undiagnosed Hashimotos Thyroiditis since early adulthood and gained weight even when working out and eating right. Finally got the right treatment in 2014. Lost 40 lbs just because of new meds alone but I gained so much weight I can't seem to get the rest off. Also have PCOS and endometriosis. Tried to get pregnant for 9 years with only one pregnancy that ended in miscarriage. This is going to be my saving grace. I finally won't be the fat one that is looked down upon and can't find clothes in regular sizes. I hate going shopping and have always been ashamed of how I look. Bad self esteem, anxiety, and depression have plagued most of my adult life. I am ready to be done with this all. I've worked all too hard to get the education that I need only to be looked at as a liability instead of an asset to a workplace. I want to have a life. I want people to respect me. I want a life like most other people have. I want to be remembered by my accomplishments and not my size. I don't want to be the "big girl" anymore. I surely don't want to remain the childless one. And so that is what i'm doing right now. I'm utilizing the tools that I have and the control that I now have over this situation to change the outcome and change how people view me and how I view myself. I hope that, after my recovery from surgery, I can slowly start learning how to be a boxer. It is something that i've always wanted to do and now I feel that I will finally be able to do it.
Update: I have lost a total of 100 lbs since my starting weight! I fit into regular sizes! I'm a size 12/14! I am absolutely ecstatic and now fit into clothes that I haven't fit into in almost 12 years. I am more than half way to my goal weight: only 54 more lbs to go! I hope to have lost the rest of that by October. I'll try and keep you updated!
