Hey guys, I'm sure if you have been following my blog, you have noticed that I have been very candid about my road to recovery. I grew up in a family of eaters, gained a few unwanted pounds, and now I'm in jeopardy of losing my health and ability to have kids. . . but as always there is hope. On August 4th, as you know, I started seeing a doctor who practices in weight management. . . so a few prescriptions later, a lot of shots on each my cheeks, fainting from blood tests, and the clothes starting to fit better so I need a belt. . . have led to some unbelievable success. So far, I have lost four inches in my waist and 23 pounds. This week. . . I am on a detoxification diet for seven days. I have to fast for two days, drink this not so flavorful drink, swallow these huge make you wanna gag horse pills twice a day. . . but this is all worth it to get healthy. I can't wait until day three when I will be able to eat nuts and berries. Gee, I feel like a squirrel just trying to get a nut, oh come on that was funny. Although, soon I will not have the chubby cheeks to store food in. . . I'm on a roll. . . Ok focus, stop talking about food. . .remember no food for two days. . . got it!!
I also found out that my father had no problem conceiving children nor my uncle. So, my inability to conceive could be just a weight management issue. I have been working on getting my hormones in balance again, so that I am able to do what God intended---Be fruitful and multiply. So, I guess things aren't so bad after all. At least at some point, you realize that even things that seem so big and unable to fix. . . are not so big to God. What I have been doing lately is taking the time to remember that!! It's not easy, but we do have to live each day to the fullest. . . and when we do that. . . everything else falls into place. Seek God first, and all these things shall be added unto you!!!
So to date I now weigh 367 pounds
Five weeks ago I weighed 390
This detox diet, I could lose 10 to 20 pounds this week alone---wow!!!
Keep the Chase family in your prayers, as you all are in mine

Hey there. Stumbled upon your blog while looking up Abby Rike. I'm a HUGE Biggest Loser Fan. Thankfully, I would not qualify to be on the show, but I am so buoyed by everyone's transformations on this show! I know it inspires others to lose weight and I just want to wish you the best and to tell you to keep it up. Just because you are not on the show, does not mean you cannot still be successful. I'm going to give you my 2 cents (not that you asked for it!!)...
ReplyDelete1. Don't expect weight loss numbers like on the show. If you are a fan, you know they work out 8 hours a day and have no jobs or family to distract them.
2. Don't forget there is likely emotional issues you will need to work through. There is a reason you got to where you are today. Now you won't have Jillian to get it out of you...so you will have to do it on your own!
Best of luck, look forward to hearing about your success!
