Default Giving it another shot

Hello everyone. I've been on here once a long time ago and then gave up on myself. I'm back again and desperate to lose this weight! I'm heavier than I've ever been in my life and struggling with depression.

My husband has been out of the country for over two years (long story). When he left I was pregnant with our second child. After giving birth to our son I immediately lost all the pregnancy weight while breast feeding him. I felt great and could finally wear my wedding ring again! However, at one month old he was in the hospital and I could no longer breast feed him. I had to pump, and put my breast milk in a tube feeder. I sat in the hospital at my son's side for a month with the hospital keeping me very well fed to supply milk for my son and I gained a lot back immediately! Before my son was discharged from the hospital my wedding ring was back off again because it was strangling my finger.

Flash forward two years and I've continued to gain weight. My husband could possibly come home this year and I'm not excited about him coming home to find me 30 pounds heaver than he last saw me. I dread it! I know he'll love me regardless, but right now I don't love me and that's got to change.

I started SB diet this past Wednesday, 2/20/13 and I'm down about 4 pounds. I'm going to therapy to deal with my depression and trying to incorporate more exercise in my life. I want to be proud of myself when my hubby returns and I'd REALLY like to surprise him with a slimmer body than he's ever seen me in. I just hope I can stick to it!

If you ever hit a roadblock, backtrack, etc...don't give up! You're human, we all do it. Keep focus on the end goal, the bigger picture. Be good 95% of the time and you'll be doing better than most anyways. More importantly, do it for your loved ones and do it FOR YOU! Good luck, everyone here is supporting you!

Congratulations on making a decision to be healthier in every way. You are off to a great start! Tell yourself you CAN do this. "Hoping" you can stick to it leaves too much to chance. You have a goal and you have a plan and sounds like you have the motivation, too. You WILL succeed! 3FC will help you along the way--you're not alone.
