So, I found a doctor here that is into integrated medicine. She is awesome. She listened to everything I had to say she checked my thyroid confirmed I was on right dose, explained to me that I have a metabolic disorder which has contributed to my thyroid disfunction.
She went on to tell me that I needed to mostly eat meat, beans, vegetables and some fruit if i wanted to maintain my weight. Also when I wanted carbs it would be best to eat Gluten free carbohydrates. ( in moderation)
Because i have not lost any weight she said i would need to go on a HCG diet to get the weight off as quickly as possible then follow the maintenance diet she described above. I am on the HCG diet now I know this is just a jump start and many people regain a lot of the weight back. But if i can just keep half of the weight i lose off i will be happy.
Since i started this diet I have lost quite a bit of weight. The other thing that happened was that I think I ovulated. Like I am pretty sure I ovulated on the 14th of this month. I had cervical mucus which was my sign. I am thinking this is so. I have stopped using the Clear Blue Easy because it always says not ovulating it said that even when i conceived my daughter. I am just on a quest to be healthier. I need to be healthier for this family.
I may never be thin but if I could maintain a weight of 180 or even 190 I would be happy. Why do I say that well because I have been +200lbs the majority of my life. In highschool I was 211, my breast contributed to a lot of that I was a 44DDD, and then in college through a punishing exercise routine, low carbing and even tight calorie restriction I got down to my smallest I have ever been which was 162. I have never seen 150lbs in my adult life.
When i got married I was right at 215, when I had Layna I was 270, a year after she was born I topped out at 235, then I lost about 12lbs and was able to get down to 223.... which is about where I have stayed. So you see it i has been an uphill battle for me. I do workout I do count carbs, calories and have dieted and if i didn't at least try to keep weight down i would be a big big girl. So you seen 180 for me is like what 130 would be for most people.
I am just blessed to be able to go to these doctors and really learn about nutrition for MY body, cause ultimately that is what nutrition is about everyone's body is different a person needs a individualized plan.
I am moving forward I am being proactive and I am still believing.
That is all.
