This is my rock bottom
Hi. I'm 36f and at my highest weight of 335 lbs.
I recently started the process of getting life insurance. I had an appointment Monday with a nurse for a general medical exam ( blood pressure, blood draw, urine sample, BP, weight). I knew I had gained weight in the last year but avoided the scale like the plague. Discovering my weight was a wake up call. I've been sick in the summer of 2024 and my Illness lasted until late spring of 2025. That's when the weight gain started.
I have high blood pressure and am currently waiting to find out if I have diabetes. I hope I don't, but honestly I wouldn't be surprised.
Very motivated to change . I know I need to lose weight. Started using the stationary bike again. And changed my eating habits by cutting sugar, carbs, sodium.
What motivates me is the plans I have for the future. I would really love to travel someday and I want to be healthy enough to do the things I want.
Looking for words of encouragement , advice, or just to be able to connect with people that are going through the same thing.
