This is the beginning of a new journey for me. I had always been a "not skinny" kid growing up, but as soon as i got pregnant with my son at 18 the pounds started adding on. I think i had gained 80 pounds and never lost it. Pregnancy with my oldest daughter wasnt as dramatic, i had gained 30 and kept only about 10 on. Many gym memberships later i was diagnosed with Thyroid cancer in December of 2003....as many of you know losing weight and thyroid problems do not mesh well. I have gained so much weight in the last few years that i stopped looking at the scale. A year and a half ago i had gone in to have a consultation with a surgeon and it looked like we were working towards me getting the surgery, I was getting really nervous and thinking maybe i had second thoughts. Chris and I had talked it through and said the only thing that would keep me from getting the surgery is if i got pregnant. Low and behold 2 weeks later i found out i was pregnant. My miracle baby, not only had i not gotten pregnant in 6 years and had no thyroid, I GOT PREGNANT... i had gotten pregnant with my youngest daughter Bethany for a reason. So now that she is almost 10 months, I am kicking it back into gear. I have a wonderful supportive family, a loving supportive husband... and im looking for a overhaul on my life.
