That seems to be part of the problem. Besides the fact that I eat when I'm happy, sad, tired, bored, etc. etc. etc. I can't seem to find time in the day for myself. Where I live is pretty rural and it's difficult to join a fitness center or Weight Watchers because it's not like I can just go anytime. Just my travel time to town is 30-45 minutes one way. Then we currently have two children in our home with special needs that require a lot of care. Everyday at least one of them has some kind of appointment. Now throw in the farm animals and general housework and by then end of the day I'm just too tired to do anything for myself. My husband works nights and sleeps days. He a good man and helps when he can. It's time to change that, because I really hate how I look and feel right now. I'm just not sure where to start. I know everybody has a busy schedule. I just need some ideas on how to make it all work.

I know how you feel! I have 3 kids, I work full time with special needs students, I coach, and I live 30 miles out in the country. When I get home I fall into my recliner, turn on the tv, and there I stay. I am too mentally and physically exhausted to even think! We give to everyone but ourselves! BUT...... we have an advantage living in the country.... we have a beautiful place to walk! We have deer, turkeys, birds, cattle and many other animals up and down our road. Our gravel road is twisty and hill and I have decided that I am going to walk, no matter how tired I am. I hate the way I look and feel and I decided that I am going to do something about it!!!! You have, too...you logged on here!!! Hang in there, you are not alone!

I live sorta in the country also, we are in the UK but an apartment complex, I have been walking my dog every other day for the past two weeks trying to get a routine going, I feel for me walking is a start. Good luck to both of you.
