Well where do I began..
Last February I moved back from the United States with my Aussie Husband of 33 years .
I thought at the time I could cope with being away from my home which is Georgia in the United States.
After all I had lived here for 17years after I immigrated with my parents in 1981
I met my husband and was married at 17 .
We had all of 5 of our children here in Australia
In 1996 we were given the opportunity to move to the United States to live on a family farm so we decided to take that opportunity sold everything we owned here and left In December 1996
I never regretted the decision because our children were given opportunities we may not have been able to give them here.
I always loved Australia though and considered it home as well
Well Now all of our Children are grown our youngest is 22 and will graduate from nursing school in August .
With all of that said lol .. We came over to work with the Aboriginal people in the outback and nothing has gone to plan.
I left my children my home and granchildren and a great job to do what I thought was a good thing.
We got here and immediately moved in with my mother in law .
we get along fine but I miss my kitchen my stuff etc. I began to feel trapped here and plunged into a deep depression therefore gained weight had many trips to the Doctor , developed stomach ulcers, and was put in the hospital in October of last year very sick basically the stress was killing me slowly
I cant explain the terror I felt and still do at times of not seeing my babies again .
After a lot of very hard days I kicked myself in the but and decided that I could not control a lot of things but my health was one thing I could control to some extent.
i decided to take my life back
On Jan 21st I saw a Doc talked to him about several issues and we came up with a plan
I weighed 108 kilos and had had enough I started Duromine 30mg on Jan 22nd and as of today I weigh 97 kilos
My goal is to be 70kgs by the end of MAY
I work out everyday but, Sunday and, I stick to a 1200 calorie a day diet again, on Sunday I eat that one thing I may crave.
I am very aware of what goes into my body and how hard it is to work off that candy bar I use to love .
I try to burn off 800 calories a day in my work out sometimes more.
Workouts include cardio, strength and I do a Zumba aqua class once a week.
Duromine has given me the kick start I needed . I only take one every other day or less
knowing that its really up to me to take care of myself
After a great deal of soul searching and some guilt as well we have decided to return to the states to live . The simple truth I cant be where my family is not.
We are booking our tickets for May 20th
We have a new Gran baby due May 25th and will be home just in time to see his beautiful face
I wish you all the best in your journey
