Hi Sara. I'm new also, have 3 children, and have struggled with my weight since my last pregnancy. I , unfortunately, eat my stress. So, this time around, i have decided to make some changes in how I go about keeping the weight off. First, I only worry about TODAY. I was faced with a piece of pie, that I decided just wasn't worth it today. Tomorrow could bring a different scenerio, but I cant worry about that today. The saying, "one day at a time" is really helping me make positive changes this time around. Also, the food I bring into the house has changed. The children are now left with healthy choices, so I am not left with unhealthy choices. And honestly, they should be eating healthy. I am also trying to get some form of activity in during each day. I just went for a hike in the woods, with my boyfriend and two dogs. Yeah, I was freezing, but I got my TODAY activity done. So, I encourage anyone reading this to give it a try. It takes a while to get the mindset, cause we have lots going on, but it's a small change that makes a HUGE impact.
Best wishes to all for a healthy New Year!
Sandy
