Hello! Hoping for hope!
 

Hi, I'm new to the site. I am a SAHM of 3 children. I worked full time til about a month ago. Before I was at home more I had zero time to exercise, I would struggle to get up early and workout at least 2 times a week. Now I'm home and really don't have an excuse, so I exercise more. I like healthy food, so that isn't so much the issue.

My issues are motivation and overeating. All weekend I was obsessed with food. Twice I bought a bag of cookies or donuts and ate as many as I had time before I had to get back home. It is my secret. My younger sister knows as she has struggled also. My dh doesn't know. I eat like that when I'm anything but happy. Anyway, I don't enjoy exercise when it feels like exercise. So I lose motivation pretty quickly. I do things with the kids to keep moving, but need more to get in shape.

I'm not getting any younger and starting last year, losing weight became impossible. I gained ten lbs. So here I am....hoping that if I have a place to turn to, I can stay focused and motivated. I am trying to turn to God more also...as he is the Great Healer. Oh, but it is so hard sometimes.

Anyway, I'm glad I found this place, it looks so welcoming!
