Long time no post

Well turns out, I'm a liar.

I have actually accomplished nothing since my last post. Granted we did purchase a treadmill and I adopted a new lifestyle, but it only lasted about a month or so. Exams/tests, etc. sort of decreased my goals. I'm weak what can I say. I also have been getting more sick in the past few months. I've seen the dietician and liver specialist but all that is in limbo now. I won't see the liver specialist until the new year and well my diet usually consists of crap or jello because it's all my stomach will handle at times.

I'm convinced I'm just not able to hack it. Maybe I don't want to lose the weight or something, although I need to and feel I want to. I just have no motivation or strength.

But tomorrow is another day, and with another chance of changing....

Welcome To This Blog

This is the first entry is what I like to call my supercalifragilisticexpialadocious blog. Long name, good results (hopefully). Any ways, in the spirit of the New Year I thought I'd make a blog that is about health and one person struggle with their weight and see what happens. Maybe I'll quit and delete this eventually, I don't know. So we'll see.

So here's the lowdown

Age : 21

Sex : Female

Occupation : Student in the health care profession

Reason for doing this : spent the majority of my life dealing with weight problems and unrelated congential health issues. So I've decided to take matters into my own hands. Sure this sounds like every one's typical "New Year's Resolution" but that is so not the case. I've been toying with the idea of starting a blog like this but never got around to it. Maybe I'll inspire someone, maybe not. I don't know, but as it stands this sucks and I have to do something about it. Lately I've been feeling worse and just need something to lift my spirits so that's why I decided to start this blog. I'm going to try and update it regularly but with my very demanding school schedule we'll see. In the previous weeks, I've really becomed scared with my weight. I see morbidly obese patients at the hopsital and get scared that if I'm not careful I could end up that way. I don't know their circumstances so I can't judge them, nor would I want to. But in my case, I don't necessarily eat "bad" foods or whatever, my metabolism is just shot and I'm so exhausted after 8 hours on my feet to work out that night. It's something I've addressed with my doctor and we're looking into it, but I've been assured that I'm not some lazy person or whatever the case/stereotype may be. Genes do play a factor here, but I must also bare some responsibility for my actions. That's about it. Suffice it to say I'm an obese 21 year old who only stands at 5'0" tall and I need to lose weight for many a reasons, but mostly because I don't want to become any of the patients I've seen at the hospital that can't even take care of themselves because of their weight.

I plan on adding health related links and so on and so forth. Mainly I just get a health lifestyle, more than I already have. I'm not a health nut, but I still eat fruits and vegetables a day, etc.. Nevertheless that is all for now...

Ciao!
