Hi, I am new to this site and haven't made many posts....yet.
I am wondering if anyone out there is feeling the same way as I am. I am 35, 5'4", and weigh around 200#. I was very active when I was younger, gained the college 15 and then some. Next, I started a family and had 3 children inside of 4 years. I gained about 75 pounds with the first and never lost it.... it has been 10 years now, which is almost 10 years to long. I feel very overwhelmed with trying to be the best mom, wife, and everthing else that comes with life, that I get really lazy when it comes to taking care of myself, at all- and very rarely first. Normally, I have a very "up-beat" personality, yet get down on myself about my weight. I know that I am so much more than what the scale says I am, and I am trying not to be so judgemental of myself, but it is time for change!!! I have had enough! My goal is to reach 135 and be healthy, active and proud of myself again.
I am looking for like-minded people to share this time with, the trials and successes! Please post if you feel the same. I would love sharing ideas and support. Sonie
