Hi there. I have been a avid daily lurker here for the past 9 months. I joined WW in April 2007 and have to date lost 29lbs. Its been a long hard road for me so far. I keep self sabotaging and wont allow myself to hit the 30lb mark. I go off program and gain and then lose the same 5lbs since October.
I have been sick this past 2 weeks with my kids flu/cold/sinus infection and decided I needed a mental and physical break from WW. Its time to buck up and get my arse back on track to shed these last 21 lbs. I am sure I have a 2-3lb gain and that will likely come off the first week like usual. But I so need to extra push to get myself back and stay put.
I am very dedicated to achieving lifetime, thats my goal. I of course could pocket the $39.99 a mo and spend it elsewhere but the "Lifetime" achievement is what usually keeps me going.
I also dread any form of exercises unless it walking. Sadly its winter and snow and freezing here in Chicago so my activity has been none for months. I have weights and a treadmill in my basement, I'm just very lazy I admit.
Spring and thin is what I need!!!
I am a SAHM mom to 2 kiddos, I have a 3 yr old son and a 11yr old daughter. I am married to a man who's very overweight but just not motivated to do anything about it. I do feel at times he help sabotage my new lifestyle efforts.
I can cook a very balanced healthy meal and he will make some sort of comment on how it would be better with, this or that...usually a thick sauce or more meat! I shamefully admit I have not been very nice to him on his weight issues. My daughter is looking and feeling amazing as shes eating healthier and it truly shows. So thats a plus for a pre teen! Shes wonderful and a great help to me with the program. I couldn't ask for a more supportive person than she is.
Well there it is...I am here and asking for help. I need the push and support and motivation to keep going. Quiting is easy and I don't want to quit. I want to be thin and be comfortable in my skin. I want to be a fun mom who can keep up with my kids and look and feel confident and be healthy.
Welcome!
It must be difficult not having your husband "on board" with you, but I think it's wonderful that you're emphasizing the benefits of good eating to your kids.
You can't change your husband, but hopefully he'll come around to your way of thinking. You're a great example for your family.
Coming out so to speak....
Make sure to keep on posting. You CAN do this.
