So.. I can't sleep.. Here's the thing.. Recently I was at my grandfather's 70th, and was having a great time, whole family was there, it was an awesome night. I got home and saw my dad posted pics of us all and put them up on FB. That's where it dawned on me: I look nothing like my old self.
Before I got pregnant at 19, I was a healthy 176lbs. My body was really nice, yeah I was a little chub, but it was the sexy kind, big thighs and wide hips, hardly any fat on me at all.
After my relationship broke down, I had to raise my son on my own the past 7 years, and I have gained so... so much.. I've gone up to 363lbs. I didn't really care about it much until maybe 4 months ago, when my ankles started swelling up like there were tennis balls inside of them, and I was retaining water. My family insisted I go to the doctors, so I did.
My liver was a little elevated. I thought it was funny because I don't drink. So I just kinda ignored it. But now.. it's 2:30am, and I was thinking about that picture I saw online. It's disgusting, and I need to do something about this now.. I want my life back and I dont even know where to start.. Other than cutting out soda, junk food, reducing portion sizes, walking every day..
Here is the jist of it;
>I'm a 28yo single mum
>363lbs, need to lose 165lbs, doctor's orders.
>I only have $71 USdollars to spend on food every week (this includes feeding my son)
>BMI is 51.5
>I don't have a job yet (Job interview on Tuesday) so I have plenty of time to do any low impact workouts, so gyms are currently out of the question.
>I have anaemia, my liver's slightly elevated, I have polycystic ovarian syndrome
>I need to cut down 1000 calories a day
Can I get any pointers into the right direction? I've researched a lot of things, but I'm not sure what I am doing.. I just don't want to be 400lbs.. :c
