SW/CW 220 lbs GW 190 lbs 25 y.o. Female.
I just went through a horrible breakup and started a new job. My life is so in flux, and with COVID19, I feel like there’s something I need to focus on.
I was once 140 pounds as a teen, then I gained about 50-60 pounds very suddenly and found out I had a tumor growing into my pituitary gland in my brain, which is where all your hormones are made. I was devastated. I maintained that weight with hard hard work and medical treatment, and then I suddenly put on 40 lbs— surprise, my thyroid gland destroyed itself and I was diagnosed with hashimotos autoimmune thyroiditis. I lost about 15-20 lbs in the last year through just proper medical treatment and now I am looking to do more. Both conditions are known to cause sudden and dramatic weight gain.
Now, my hormones are mostly stabilized with intense medical treatment and its time to lose the weight. I also went through a horrendous breakup (my boyfriend of nearly 1 year ghosted me and I literally thought he was maybe even dead for a few months— it happened out of nowhere. Thought he loved me ooops). Then I started a new job.
I am nearly 40 percent muscle (doctors were shook when they did the scan at a fitness clinic), I work out 3-5 times a week for about an hour and Im fairly in shape in the sense that I am strong and can run up to 3 miles nonstop. But I am fat. I am a womens size 12-14, and I have DD breasts.
I looked and felt really good at 190 lbs. I want to return to there, so I want to lose 30 pounds.
Because I suffer from an autoimmune disease, I figured I would cut all bread, most dairy, all rice and all alcohol from today.
Just thinking aloud. Any tips to stay motivated?! Anyone out there with similar conditions who want to partner up?
