I’m really looking forward to getting to know you all and to lose weight. Glad to have found this site! I’m a mom of 2 boys and have been married for 16 years. The past 10 years has been tough for me. I’ve gained 85 lbs! I’m 5’3”.
The day of my wedding I weighted around 130 lbs. At the time, I was feeling great, exercised regularly and made better eating choices. My lifestyle was completely different then. I lived in New York City and I disliked taking the subway, so I walked to and from everywhere, or took a taxi cab. My husband and I moved to the suburbs and I became a stay-at-home/work-at-home mom and got very depressed and unmotivated. My husband is no help either. Instead of helping me lose the weight, he criticizes and berates me. He’s verbally and mentally abusive and not someone I want to be with for the rest of my life. But I want to gain enough confidence to leave this abusive marriage, and I need to be able to feel good about myself and be healthy for my boys.
I’m going through a lot right now with my marriage, my job, my finances. I’m going to need all the help that I can get not only to keep my sanity, but also to NOT gain another pound!
Thank God for friends and family, without their support I would have fallen apart.
I’ve done every diet that one can imagine, lost some of the weight, gained, lost, gained, gained again. My problem is eating carbs and not exercising- I can’t motive myself to work out. I really need help.
Please, help me lose the weight once and for all. I'm ready!! And I’m looking forward to learning from you all. Thank you in advance.
