I am a 31 year old mother of three. I have tried numerous diets without any real success. When I was younger I used to try to eat everything in site in hopes of gaining weight because I thought that I was too skinny. I have grown to really love food. Now, 15 years, 3 kids, and 55 pounds later, it is a hard habit to break.
I have reached the point where I refuse to live like this no more. I believe that you really have to want it bad enough in order to succeed. This site has alot of info and motivation that I can benefit from. I do not plan to follow a restrictive diet.
I am going to:
Dring @ least 8 glasses of water per day (No soda/juice/alcohol)
Limit my portions
Eat less fattening foods (No fast food @ all, limit red meat)
Exercise everyday! (Cardio & Toning)
I think this will work for me. Of course I will log on daily to read your motivating logs and update my sucess. If anyone has any tips that have worked for them, please feel free to share. Thanks!!
seems like u have the right idea about things are are headed in the right direction
