My body can't take it any more, I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia about 6 years ago. Since then I have added over 40 lbs to my 5"1 frame. I currently weigh 175 lbs, what a load. When your short and over weight there's no such thing as wearing it well. I look like a circle. The part that bothers me the most, oops; Did I say bother? I meant to say depresses me the most is that I used to be a vibrant, muscular and active person. Now I'm feel as though I'm just existing. It's time for me to take charge of my life and revamp my physical and mental well being.
I am currently working for a company that is slowly going under. We as a company have dwindled down to about 10 people that used to have about 350 employees plus temps. Now the few that are left are over worked for less money. Oh yeah, did I forget to mention most of us have taken a pay cut? Well I'm getting off track here, I brought my employment up because I most likely will be out of a job soon and in the job market. Now here's where my fear comes in; I am a soon to be 43 year old women who is over weight and interviewing for employment. It's hard enough for middle age people, especially women to find work at my age, at least in our chosen field.
My energy level is so low, because with this diagnosis comes chronic fatigue and the weight makes it ten times worse. I must admit that a lot of the way feel stems from vanity, I HATE WHAT I SEE IN THE MIRROR!!!!!
With all that said I am determined to loose this 40 lbs, tone up and cleanse my soul for 2009. I want to share this experience with you and hope that when it's all over we can share ideas, goals and dreams which in the end will help us all.
Please feel free to comment and participate in my journey to better health.
