My Weightloss Journal

Started out in 2008 to loose enough weight to get Bariatric Surgery done.  Its not been an easy trip but I did manage to get down to 385 by the end of 2010. But then life took a sour turn and depression sunk in which caused me to balloon back up to 445 lbs.  Damn seems like I am starting all over again. In a months time I have only managed to lose 1 lb.

Found out in Oct 2011 that I am Hypothyroid which in a way I kind of expected since I have been borderline most of my adult life. I am now on the medication for this and I think I am getting things figured out. Seems kind of weird that for almost 2 months before I was diagnosed I did not hear my stomach growl but was eating according to timing. Now it would seem that I need to eat smaller meals more often to keep from getting an upset stomach.

Well if I have managed to do one thing it is prove that losing weight is not as easy as many would think. Losing weight is no where near as easy as people would think. And then the concept of keeping it off is not easy.
