Hello all...
I have been reading this group for about a month now, and I decided to finally show my face
My name is Gina and I am 27 years old. I have two beautiful boys ages 21/2 years and 6 months. I have been married for 5 years, and I am about 130 lbs overweight. And loosing all this weight gets pretty overwhelming. I realize that it did not go on overnight, so I must be patient. I have a family history of adult diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease...the works. Also, I am at risk for diabetes because my last baby weighed over 11 pounds. UGH
I am an emotional and compulsive overeater and I have a problem with binging. I know I have to change, but have a problem with motivation and consistency. My hubby (who is wonderful, but no matter how hard he tries, will NEVER get IT) says I must not want it hard enough, because I am not doing it. That is not true. I think about Food and being over weight constantly.
So, I am here for your great support and motivation. I have had enough. And, I might as well start off with an excersize ?. I know that excersize is addicting (once you start) but how did you start? I feel so out of breath...and it is all too overwhelming. I hurt all over, and then get discouraged. ANy tips on how to get started and stay with it. I realize that being sedendary is a lot of my issue also.
Thanks alot...and I look foward to getting to know all you.
