I am an extroverted person and have been spending some time exloring a new career for myself. I like reading,visiting thrift stores and Craigslist online for items to take from ugly to beautiful. I enjoy trying out new recipes on my husband and getting his feedback. You will find me pinning things on Pinterest on a daily basis.

I have been overweight all of my life. I was a chubby kid who grew into a very large overweight women. I suspect now that I was carbohydrate sensitive since at a very young age. I have all of the conditions that occurr with adult obesity plus hypothyroidism, PCOS and fibromyalgia.

My previous job was a Claims Analyst for an insurance company. I have spent the last 10 years of my career working in healthcare resolving claim issues for hospitals. I enjoy this type of work because it challenges me.

I realized this past August that I need to take of me and my health issues. It has been hard to do this because of the constant physical pain that drains me but I have not given up. I am an avid internet researcher and found out about the benefits of a gluten-free low carb diet for people with hypothyroidism. This is where I am at the current time. Just taking it day by day. I will not give up on me until I get to my healthy weight.
