Hi Xeracia!!
Welcome!! I think every mother can COMPLETELY understand your struggle. I have a son and was concerned that if I took the initiative and focused on my weight that he may be body obsessed, so I have put it off. Only to find out that my child HATES chocolates, sweets, and cookies... and loves to exercise... if he didn't have my face shape and eyes... I wouldn't think he was my child!! LMAO I'm learning the hardest part is staying committed to myself- not sure if you have the same problem....
I think it's great you've gotten into working with a Metabolic Research Center-if you think about all the things we chunky chicks buy to make ourselves feel better as well as the medical bills we'll have to face if we don't change... the money you are spending at the MRC- is CHUMP Change......
Best wishes!!!!!
