Hi Lyn!!! I'm so glad that you are here.

I kinda love what Tricia said about your hubby and tossing out the goodies.

Is it possible that you can sit down with him and have a very honest and frank discussion with him about ridding your home of candy and all that other junk? It really has nothing to with being attracted to "skinny" women or not. It's about health. Can you tell him how important this is, not just for you but for your ENTIRE family? What good is it doing your 5 children? It benefits no one. Junk food is meant to be eaten once in a while and in small portions. It's best left out of the home entirely. There are great, delicious snacks your kids can munch on and come to love. My kids have. And they're almost ancient already. I have 3 teenagers. How I wish I would have started this healthy eating while they were young. :(

Warm welcomes and best wishes on your new journey!!!!
Glad you can join the party!

I have talked to him on the phone and told him I really hope he will get on board with me when he comes home. He says he wants to eat healthy. He sayd he wants to support me. I guess now we shall see if he is really willing to make any changes. If not, it will be harder for me, but I will still do it!!

Hello: I read a little of your blog. I can relate to the part of losing weight not being a race. Sometimes I feel like this will take too long, so why not give up. But I have to talk myself out of it! Glad you joined us.
