hi i'm new too and i'm in the same boat. no motivation and wanting to start a family. the last year has been especially tough for me because so many people close to me have had babies, and i know i can't until i get myself healthy first. i don't having a baby to be my sole motivation, but it's so hard not to focus on that. i lost weight for my wedding and gained it all back and then some.
i'm afraid to to back to the gym too. i always wonder what people are thinking when they look at me. my husband says it's all in my head, and that people go to the gym to work out and they're too busy to be worried about how my butt looks in my sweatpants...
i'm struggling too and i think it's because i've been worried about changing everything at once. i want to try to start out smaller and to just worry about eating better for a few weeks, then add the exercise. i'm hoping it will work. cross your fingers for me.
i know we can do this.
