Is there a new tag?

So I’ve been in the fitblr/fatblr/healthblr tags and I’m not really seeing any posts from bigger people in there. I love seeing everyone working hard on getting healthy, you guys are great, but I would love to be following and seeing posts from people with a journey similar to mine.

I know a year ago I could find those blogs and posts and now I can’t.

So is there a new tag or are people just not posting anymore?

WOW

I just created a myfitnespal and put in my meals for the day.

I met my day’s allotted calories at breakfast, which I had at Huddle House.

I know diners like that and fast food can be unhealthy, but man I did not know it was that bad.

I am hoping I will remember this the next time I go out to eat for a breakfast. I need this to be an eye opener, a reminder.

Add me on myfitnesspal if you want!!

Small goals

As of two minutes ago, I had 100% compliance on my meds for a week. 

It’s small, but a victory all the same.

I am just going to take it a week at a time.

Updates

I haven’t been on here in a long time. I know its been a year. 

I graduated with my A.A. in Psychology in May. I’m a college grad!!

I’ve started my Bachelor’s at a new school and I’m really looking forward to the new experience.

My family and I recently moved and I finally have my own bedroom again. This new place is also 10x better than where we were before. The other place was so dark and dreary and it really just brought me down. 

I’m officially out of therapy, but I am still on meds and go in every couple of months to have a little checkup.

I had to have a tooth surgically removed last Thursday! Surprisingly, there was no pain afterwards.

I’ve had a hard time staying on top of my meds and it sets me back a lot because my levels are always out of whack. I’ve had 100% compliance since Monday which is huge since I’ve generally forgotten and took it every other day and then eventually every few weeks. I am doing everything I can to keep this new trend going.

I found out I might possibly have a thyroid condition. Because of my meds I have to get blood work done and it showed elevated levels for my thyroid. I called the primary doctor in town and told him the results and he said I definitely have an issue. I just haven’t been able to afford the cost of the visit to go in and get it treated.

I haven’t done anything in the past year to really lose weight. I get on a kick for a few days and then I stop. I do think my depression played a major role in it and I am hoping by being on my meds properly and being in a better environment will allow me to really focus.

I’m really going to try and focus on my weight and my mental health and I hope I can make an improvement.
