I hate looking in the mirror

Right now i just hate being me and its about time i make a change!

The most important advice I have is to start learning to love yourself or at least like. Weight loss is hard and harder to maintain so why would you put in that much effort when you don't like you?

As far as specifics, find something that you can do the rest of your life, think long term. If you are tempted to try something that will work fast remember that it won't last, we have to be able to do it 10 years from now or it's a lot of work to just gain it back.

All the best and congrats on the little one.

Good luck! Focus on the positive things you have in your life (like your kids), and find things about yourself that you love. It's hard work, but you can do this! If you ever feel insecure or down, just come here and chat... there are so many loving supportive people on here that want you to succeed and feel better!

If you have any questions or just need someone to lean on, I'm here to talk!
