Hi, I am in my twenties and I need a support system to lose this darn weight for good! My background includes - I have a 3 year and a 5 year boys. I am currently a fulltime nursing student that includes a 3 hour commute to and from daily. I have always been over weight but in high school I was able to go from 175 to 130 and kept it off for 4 years until i got pregnant with my first son at 19. Everything was okay afterwards I dropped back down to 150 but over the next two years my weight slowly creeped back on. It was my own fault, when my son woke up during the night I would feed him while snacking on chips or something easy and unhealthy. I worked as a CNA, so i would feel like I was straving when I got off of work at 1430 because we would take lunch at like 1000 so I never really at lunch because who wants lunch at 1000 am. Then I was on the shot for birth control which helped me (not blaming it entirely but it helped) gain another 20 lbs. I got off of it and soon became pregnant with my second son. While pregnant with him I only gain 15 pounds and since he was over 7 lbs I thought I would lose more but can home weighing 207 (I only lost 8 lbs
) So I started working out and lost 35 lbs but over the last 3 yrs I have gain it back plus. I currently weight 215 and would love to get down to 150. I currently smoke also (I know bad) but I was able to quit when I found out I was pregnant with my first and for some stupid reason started but after I had my second. I blame it on stress but really I thought if i smoked then I wouldnt want to eat. However this is a total fib. I understand the aspect that I have to provide nutrients to my body but I need help sticking to the plan. Christmas last year I bought a WII and EA Active and stuck with it for a while but school and life have taken over. Today I am taking a smart step for my own life and my children. I am quiting smoking and going to exercise everyday even if that means getting up early before school or walking around the block while the boys ride their bikes after supper. I wish that I had a support system such as someone in town to walk with me or exercise with me to help me stick. My husband is in good shape but that is because he has a very high metabolism and can eat whatever he wants and it makes me sick
if only I was that lucky. So now that I just spent the last few minutes expressing my story I should go clean the yard and my car while the boys are napping so I am not sitting in front of the TV eating from boredom
