I've been trying to keep a journal about the weight loss journey I've been on the past 2 months. It isn't working (the journal part), and I think it's because I'm only being held accountable by myself. I work so much better with support, so I thought, "why not blog about it?" This way, I can also be a support to others out there who are facing the same challenges as me.
My name is Tiffany and I'm a CARBOHOLIC. There, enough said.
No, actually, not enough said. I'm also a 26 year old suffering from medical issues due to my poor eating habits and weight problem. One issue is GERD. It's that horrible acid reflux problem with many nasty symptoms that I don't even want to get into right now. I've had this problem since high school. Another issue is PCOS. I was diagnosed with this about 3 years ago, but suffering from it since high school.
Why am I telling you this? Because most people I know have some form of acid reflux and many women I know are struggling with PCOS. It's a daily struggle to deal with these problems and it's smacking me right in the face as I'm losing weight. I'm writing this to instill hope that these issues can end once you get healthy.
I may not write everyday, but as I face challenges or spend a lot of time thinking about a topic, I will do my best to share with you how I overcome obstacles.
(You may ask why I chose "Hip Cyster" as a tag. Well, the "hip" part is that I enjoy belly dancing as a form of exercise and the "cyster" refers to my struggle with PolyCystic Ovarian Syndrome.)
It's time to get real!
This is me taken July 10, 2010 at my heaviest weight of 271 lbs.
