Hi everyone! I am new here and I am truly a sugar addict. I eat so much candy, cookies, and baked goods through the day. I can see the wicked pattern I have created, I eat sugar to treat the highs and lows that I am creating in my body by eating it in the first place.

I am a super busy SAHM of 4 kids with 3 being aged 3 and under. I just had a baby 3 weeks ago and instead of losing any weight I have gained due to my destructive eating habits. I gained 30 pounds in my pregnancy and I wish to return back to my pre-pregnancy weight. I realize that this time I am going to need the support and help of others who are also on the path to become healthier individuals.

Yesterday I actually ran a mile on our treadmill. Yes....one mile. It took me 18 minutes but I did it. I am very proud of myself!! Exercise will be a challenge with having a newborn and my other children but I know I have to make it a priority in my life, sleep deprived or not

I look forward to getting to know others on this board and giving and receiving support to get to those goals!!!

Hi Debi and welcome to 3FC!

Good luck with your goals

I totally understand. Sweets are my problem, too. I've been subbing sugar free jello pudding and yoplait free (100cal) along with those delicious 100cal packs. Good luck!

Welcome to the group! And congrats on your running a mile!
