I went from living below poverty to middle class and its really hard to adjust. Especially in relation to food. That in conjunction with my back issues led me down my path to weighing the most I ever have in my life. 320lbs. My fiancee is a really laid back, junk eating person. I don't think he does things intentionally to sabotage me, but at the same time I don't think he understands it. He has never had an issue with being overweight. He is really my only support network. I really need some other people in my court. |

I've been overweight my whole life, WW when I was 12. Was 120 lbs, wish I appreciated that! Growing up, my Dad was an alcoholic, and to cope, my Mom would take me shopping and out for dinner. I've got the shopping under control, but food is another story. Parents died when I was in early 20's - separately, both cancer. I've cry every time I have to say that, because I compartmentalize pain and eat instead of dealing with it. I'm tired of being defined by my past and my emotions, and I'm sick of being judged by my weight. So here goes everything.. |

My trouble right now is finding the time for myself and staying motivated. As a mom it's so easy to put everyone before yourself and then when it's finally time for you your exhausted and it 8-9pm. We are early risers in our house 5:30-6am getting ready for work and school. I'm trying to stay motivated and still find time to myself. I work 40+ hours and when I finally get home from getting kids it's 4:30-5 and it's time to do dinner. Then everything else for the kids follows. I have a hard time cooking healthy meals because my children don't seem to enjoy them. And they aren't looking out for there weight they're healthy and portion things out right. So I give it and make the usual in healthy things. I have such a supportive bf who also wants to loose maybe about 40lbs! He's all about building muscle and this and that! He loves working out. We try and do it together but again time! And when we finally do have time together who wants to spend it at the gym. We want to cuddle and talk about our day. I love being big. Love my full shape. But I hate be unhealthy. My children are young and so am I. I want to run around outside with them and beable to keep going and finish the game we started without sitting down and saying "I'm done mommies tired". I gained a lot during both pregnancies. 1st was about 80lbs. 2nd was 60lbs. And I haven't lost it. My goal is 200lbs. So that's 72lbs to loose. I thought about doing a lapband or something to help with this process. So hopefully when I see my doctor in October they can help me. I here looking for support or even another mom who understands where I am or even is where I'm at and we can team up and be each other's support system! Well thanks for reading my BIO! |
