LO was for a challenge called On little word for 2011- We were to pick one word that aspired us how to live through this New Year. I choose thin. I have always been considered overweight, Now at almost 30 this overweight has caused a lot of problems from self-esteem to medical. The journaling reads:
Being thin has always been something I have longed for. In High School it was to fit in, then to wear stylish clothes. Now that I'm 30 being this will mean so much more. Being thin means controlling my hormones and insulin. What does this mean? I means my hair will grow back where it suppose to be. It means hair will stop growing where it's Not suppose to. I mean I will have energy and no longer being sluggish. It means the pain in my knees and hip will be greatly reduced. It means I'm one step closer to my biggest dream.... to be able to become a Mom. In short being thin means I will once again be Happy in my body and in my life... Jan 1, 2011 on the quest to being 165.
This LO refers to many of the problems (but not all) that I have been experiencing all through my 20's due to a medical problem called PCOS
