Ready to do this
 

Heya everyone! I came to this site to check out various dieting tips and decided to plant my fat but down and stick around :)

My weight has gradually increased since the birth of my 3rd child (he is now 5). It was holding at a healthy 130 and now is 205 :(. My decision to start a program now stems from health concerns and because my very perceptive 5 y/o son told me that I was very pretty but too fat :eek:

Anyway - that about sums up why I am here. I am looking forward to meeting others and reading the success stories.

Welcome sara08! This is a great place to be, im sure you will find this a great place of support.

Hello Sara and welcome to the site. Good luck and be sure o keep posting (it's one of the keys to success)

Welcome! That's a rather blunt kid you have there. =)

Hi Sara. I'm new also, have 3 children, and have struggled with my weight since my last pregnancy. I , unfortunately, eat my stress. So, this time around, i have decided to make some changes in how I go about keeping the weight off. First, I only worry about TODAY. I was faced with a piece of pie, that I decided just wasn't worth it today. Tomorrow could bring a different scenerio, but I cant worry about that today. The saying, "one day at a time" is really helping me make positive changes this time around. Also, the food I bring into the house has changed. The children are now left with healthy choices, so I am not left with unhealthy choices. And honestly, they should be eating healthy. I am also trying to get some form of activity in during each day. I just went for a hike in the woods, with my boyfriend and two dogs. Yeah, I was freezing, but I got my TODAY activity done. So, I encourage anyone reading this to give it a try. It takes a while to get the mindset, cause we have lots going on, but it's a small change that makes a HUGE impact.
Best wishes to all for a healthy New Year!
Sandy
