What!?!

So this is what I saw when I stepped on that awful method of torture called the scale. How can this be? I can use the excuse of my hypothyroidism. It went from a 1 to an 11 last year. (2.5-3 is the normal range.) I can use the excuse of lack of sleep and stress. I can use the excuse of taking on more work to support my family. I can use the excuse of all the extra crap that has taken away my time and desire to exercise. You know what it won't change the truth. My clothes don't fit. I feel awful about my appearance. I am sluggish and yes fat!

So since I have had a thyroid problem for the last 19 years, I started there. I went to the doctor and had to step on the scale. I discovered that I was FAT and 1/2 inch shorter!!! (I am now 5'7 1/2") Not a stellar day! Once I found out my thyroid levels were normal, I found I couldn't use that as my excuse anymore.

OK so it is January and everyone wants to loose weight right? I am 41 years old. I know what I need to do but I keep being side swiped by this stupid divorce. Time to focus!
