I'm Sarah, 33. I started having weight issues in my 20's. I have gained, lost (Adkins), gained the same 100 lbs. Then, I gained more having kids & lost that. I try to eat a well rounded diet now, not carb free...high fiber, and smaller meals.
I am an emotional eater. Any kind of stress sends me straight to the fridge. So, having the right kind of snacks handy is key for me. Other times, I will just binge for no apparent reason.
I have two small boys, am a wife & student. School work is usually what messes with my schedule, exercise, eating. Sometimes, I eat from exhaustion when I really should nap, but can't.
I am currently about 50 lbs. from my goal weight. Always looking for good info. I am much better about exercise than diet. Currently on my second month of Chalean Extreme & it's going well. I have a 'phobia' of going outside my home to exercise until I near my goal weight. I would love to jog in my neighborhood, but don't want my neighbors to see me!
So, I stick with my dvd workouts.
I appreciate any & ALL advice. Thanks everyone & good luck!
