Need to stop eating cookies! - 3 Fat Chicks on a Diet Weight Loss Community

I just had my third child and I am exhausted. I find myself going for Chips Ahoys cause they are quick, easy and chocolate. I never really thought I'd end up needing support for weight issues, but I've turned into a stress eater and I have to find some way to stop it.

Anyway, I'm 2Tired and I finally signed up. I'm a chocoholic who loves cake. And I'm stressed out!!!!!!

Welcome 2Tired, I hear you on the babies thing, I only have two (last one is 15 mos) but the memories are still fresh. I honestly don't know how people with 3 kids do it so kudos to you! Every day is a new day and a new chance, take control of what you can and be kind to yourself for the things you can't. Being tired with a newborn and two other kids to deal with will wreak havoc in your world, but it does get better! When you get that all important full-night sleep the world will right itself again. In the meantime, toss the Chips-ahoy and replace them with some healthier options!

Welcome to 3FC!! Surf around and settle in! We have subforums based on age, eating plan, exercise and more. I'm glad you're here!

We have a nursing mothers subforum if that applies. Make sure you are getting enough rest! It's hard work to take care of a newborn.

I'm a chocoholic too. I've found the chocolate calcium chews to be a lifesaver for me and I am sure to limit them to one or two a day.

Thanks Leeesa and midwife. The nursing mothers subforum actually does apply. I'll be scooting off to there soon.... hopefully..... dependant of course on the cooperation of my kids!

And, it is funny to hear "newborn" too.... he is 3 months old, but it feels like much, much longer... and I am so tired, that I guess I forgot he really still qualifies as a newborn!

Totally forgot about those calcium chews..... I remember those from ages ago..... good idea.....

Anyway, thank you for the welcome... and I'll work on tossing the chips ahoy.... DH told me I should too when I told him I joined here yesterday, and what compelled me to sign up.... I need to figure out a good substitute.

Well, gonna go look around....
