On happier news

I'm trying to pep myself up, I don't want to get back into a depressed funk so I am thinking to think of things that are more positive. So happier news, I was over at my grandma's house sitting and she has a scale. We don't have a scale at home, I don't know why but we don't. I think we did but it was outside for some reason and then the sun fried it...yeah, that happens a lot. So I used my grandma scale and I'm always nervous because of the one time using the scale and it was horrifying. And the end of last year I was almost at 290lbs and I was like, oh, no, that is not happening. If you don't know, I do have hypothyroidism, so I'm not gaining weight because I'm lazy and eat a lot. Seriously, I eat like a bird and at the time I wasn't exercising a lot but I decided to just exercise casually, don't make a big deal out of it because my body just cannot handle hardcore workouts. Trust me, I have tried for a few months actually hardcore working out and I actually got very very sick! So yeah, don't tell me oh your body will get used to it, it won't. But yeah with casual exercise and cutting down on carbs I'm now at 260-265 range! I say range because my weight fluctuates a lot and yesterday I was 261 and today I was 264 because we had pizza last night. I'm pretty excited about this though! I know my knees know the difference in weight, they don't lock up as much. If I can ever get under 250lbs I would be so happy because that was the weight I was before I moved to Wyoming. So getting rid of this weight is like getting rid of that memory, so I'm trying. I am drinking so much water and sweating so much, that will help a lot, not so much my skin, but ehh! I can exfoliate that, I can't exfoliate my weight. (that would be so nice though)

@DesirousDreamer .....I just ignore it. I eat what I want, when I want. If I am going to die I plan on dying happy and not on some idiotic health diet.

@saurabhrmp Good job. I'm not athletic at all. So I will stick to doing sit ups and the stationary bike.

Don't eat a lot of carbs, drink lots of water, and walk or just do occasional workouts even if they can only be 15 minutes long.
