New member to 3FC and looking to gain back some of that lost energy and confidence that's been lost along the way to raising a family. I have 5 kids ages 12, 10, 8, 6 and 9 months old in which I just adore and love very much
Unfortunately 2 have PDD Autism and another has a learning disability
Also took my oldest in for counselling recently as we suspect is suffering from depression too. Has been quite the journey over the last year that's for sure. Feels like I am stretched out and there is nothing left for myself at the end of the day
Between meetings, Dr's appointments, school work and dealing with whatever problem my oldest has on top of everything else I feel like few understand what I am going through
As for weight I have never weighed this much unless I was at the end of my pregnancy and I feel like junk. For me an eye opener is a BMI of overweight in which I am on the verge of and not to mention the spare tire I am caring around
My mom is also overweight so I know how much she struggles, something I pry I can get under control. Being an at home mom now and still nursing it seems I graze a lot during the day and have the urge to eat snacks in the evening when the kids r asleep. Not really following a particular weight loss plan except trying to reduce my servings, trying to get a little me time and fit in some type of exercise. I like going for walks and Leslie Sansone videos!
Hoping by sharing my story it might help make this a real challenge for me and a place where I can share what I am going through.
