I have started a low-carb diet before, and was successful once. So, here I go again, this time on doctor's orders to limit my carb intake and exercise more. This time around it is simply not a "diet" but more like a way of eating or a way of life. This will ensure it will be a long-term thing and not a quick fix. This will be a long journey, but a positive one.
This is embarrassing but if I state everything publicly then maybe it will urge me to keep going in the right direction and be held accountable for my actions.
I am currently 245 pounds at 5'4 -- The doctor tested my cholesterol and overall it was 210 and needs to be under 200 and my triglycerides are at 254 and need to be under 150. I have a lot of work to do, but I think I finally get it is more important to be healthy on the inside than look thin on the outside. I will work on my health and as a bonus weight will come off. My priority has shifted so I am excited to see some positive results. I go back to the doctor in 6 months to get checked again and I cannot wait to see my progress. I will try and keep updating as much as I can when I remember.
