Hello all, my name is Rosa im a painter, a mother of a 14 month old little girl and a wife.
I been very depress lately and that has not help me with my eating problems, i try slim quick the pills ,and the first two weeks was awesome and then boom! nothing happen, i do not know what is wrong with me, i am a very happy person i love my life my family and what i do for a living but when it comes to getting myself off the couch where i paint most of the time its impossible , i bough a really awesome stationary bike , that my husband made fun of in a sarcastic way that i was not going to use it just like the treadmill i bought 2 years ago, so i worked on it for 2 weeks and then i don't know what happen i just stopped and yes he was right. And that makes me feel even worst , he is not the exercise type and he is heavy eats a lot of fast food, which doesn't help when im on diets.

I love to walk, and im very active during the day specialty with my daugther but then i get down and just start eating like there is no tomorrow.I feel horrible after, this is the first time im actually opening up to someone or to everyone here and i want to know if someone has gone through what i am going right now.

Its 15 before 6am i am not tired and i decided that today was the last time i sit on my bun and do nothing, i hope to meet a lot of people who i can talk to, i am very friendly and i know we can help each other out in whatever we need.
Thank you for reading and i look forward to getting to know everyone.
my weight today is 195lb, im short super short almost 5.0.

Hi and welcome Rosa.

Yes, you'll find support here. We even have a thread for short gals!

I'm going to suggest that you join a daily thread or an exercise challenge. Just because your husband doesn't think you'll stick with the bike doesn't mean he's right. And you don't have to make him right.
It is absolutely up to you to prove him wrong!
5 or 10 minutes a few times a day ... it's all good.

Welcome fellow Ohioan! What motivates me is this site, I come here daily to get inspiration and I haven't cheated on my diet nor have I gave up on exercising. I'm not going to really suggest this to you because everyone chooses their own way of doing things but I'll let you know what I do anyway. I eat about 6-8 times a day but they are small portions, this way I won't binge or get hungry later on. As for exercising, sometimes I would feel sick, so I'd just run for 2 mins. The days where I'm not sick, I would run for 20 mins and do yoga for an hour. Always drink lots of water! Whether you are doing a lot or a little, it all counts. So good luck and welcome!!

Hi Rosa!!! That's so cool that you're a painter! I want you to know that I'm keeping you in my prayers! (I hope that's ok with you!) You can do it!
