MythicalMagpie Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 I had been doing well, eating primarily paleo and working out. Then, had several life changing events happen in quick succession. Got pregnant, lost the pregnancy, two months later. I got hit by a drunk driver, car totaled and lost the second pregnancy we didn't know existed yet. All in all, it was a lot of heavy sh*t and I spiraled into a pretty heavy depression and let my body pay for it. /depressing stuffBut, I didn't want to keep ballooning up anymore. Something had to give. So, I started really being conscious of my water intake, then my vegetable intake...and wouldn't you know it, things fell back into place. I had to (re-)lose six pounds of backsliding, but I finally lost them and then two more...putting me at 40 total lbs lost. It's taken me a year to hit forty pounds, but I am amazingly pleased and encouraged by my hubby, (anivair) not only to keep going but not to slide back too badly when life gets rough. Now, I only have about fifty more to go!!Yay milestones!!! Quote Mythical Magpie – Lvl 1 Hobbit/Druid2 - (STR), 2 - (DEX), 2 - (STA), 2 - (CON), 3 - (WIS), 4 - (CHA) Link to comment
