Default Hello!
Hi everyone! My name is Laurie and I am new here. I have struggled with my weight my whole life, gone up and down on different "diets". Now, at 38 years old, I am the heaviest I have ever been and I just can't take it anymore. The scale has gone over 300 lbs and I am mortified. I struggle with depression and sleep issues, notice I am posting at 2 am I came across this site and am so excited to join and make some new friends. I am a busy mom to 2 gorgeous boys, ages 9 and 5. But it is time I do something for ME. I am going to do this by counting calories, exercising, getting more sleep and taking control of MY life!

Sorry if I am rambling

Good luck Laurie! Know that we're all rooting for you!

I am also ready to shove aside the "mommy guilt" and MAKE the time for me, which is what we have to do...make the time for yourself, because you're worth it!

Thank you all so much for the warm welcome, it honestly made my day! I am looking forward to getting to know everyone better and taking this journey with all of you.

HLS - we do have lots in common Also that we both live in the south! I just read your blog and wanted to give you some ((big hugs)). Your son sounds like an angel and I am so sorry for what he is going through. I had to chuckle about the band-aid, because my 5-year-old hates them also
