Taking back Control

I have been sick sometime in November, and it was about 2 weeks straight I was sick, and I have let it take control over my motivation and my focus. Thanks to a lovely super awesome team they have giving me the courage and motivation to get back in the groove of things. I have been letting my illness take me over and stressed and worried about the fact that I am losing my hair, althoug I probably shouldn't let that really worry me, but it has been doing so. I have come to the comclusion that the more I stress and worry about this thyroid condition and how its affecting me physically I will forever be stressed and probably overweight and leaning towards nothing, but depression. Again my awesome team I am with have given me some toold for personal development, and I have been listening to them almost everyday to get myself back up and in control of what's mine. I could sit here and cry, and stress even more about what's all going on, but at the end of the day that thyroid condition will probably still be there and hair might even grow back slowly but surely. If I sit and let it take over I will never accomplish my health goals and anything else for that matter. I still commit and drink my shakes no matter what and I have been on and off working out, but today I take my life back and get my ass in gear and kick it up a notch since my last post I have lost 2 more pounds even.

I'M TAKING MY LIFE BACK NO LONGER WILL I LET THE STRESS OF THE WORLD AND MY FAMILY AND ILLNESS CONTROL ME!!!

Introduction

Hi, my name is Aveane,

I am from the Chicago area, and I started this blog since I have another one that I use on my beachbody website, and also to have others follow me through this amazing journey, and possibly help some people along the way because that's what it's all about: ending the trend of obesity.

As long as I can remember I have always been overweight, and never truly happy in my own skin. I have always been told I am beautiful, and it took a while for me to believe that and especially with being overweight. As I got older I have accepted the fact that I am a plus size woman, and beautiful.

Back in 2007, I got sick with an autoimmune disease they call Graves Disease (hyperthyroidism) I lost 80lbs in 4-5 months and didn't realize I was sick, until I felt like I was losing control over everything in my life. Started having tremors, and heart palpitations, eyes bulging, over-eating and still losing weight, and staying up all night sleeping all day. Eventually after getting my TSH levels normal I decided to finally commit and try this weight loss again.

I have always said I am going to lose this weight some way or another, but never followed through with it. I don't know why it has taking me this long at the age of 29 to realize that I am serious about this journey. I just feel like once I feel more confident about myself I will be confident in everything that I do and yet done.

So here I am 2 months in and 27lbs lighter and I am gaining so much confidence and feeling great inside and out, thanks to my beachbody team, coach Lisa Torres, and Beachbody products. I am hoping I can inspire and help someone along the way, so keep following me through my amazing journey.
