Need a buddy/mentor to help working mom of 4
I've lurked around this site for years - and I love it! two falls ago, I lost almost all of my weight by eating strictly and exercising tons. I loved it! I felt so empowered. I had three boys and they were getting older, more independent and I finally felt justified in spending some time on me. Then, on the first romantic night out I'd had with DH in a long time, surprise! pregnant again! Great news and a blessing, but it did send me into a personal funk. I didn't handle the pregnancy the way I should have and now I am back where I started, but I do have a gorgeous daughter to show for it. I am overwhelmed and wishing to get going on my weight loss journey again. I think I'm angry that I have to do it again, but I need to get over that. I'm certainly experiencing boughts of self sabotage. And I feel like this whole thing is an impossible feat. Summer is here, and now it will be yet another fat summer for me (hear the bitterness?). I'd love a friend who has done it all with success and to give a little tough love. Half my brain knows exactly what to do - the other half just wants to give up.
