Re-starting my weightloss journey
So Dec 2009 i started my weightloss journey to lose 100lbs at 238lbs(my heaviest non pregnant weight). In March 2010 i was surprised tofind out that i was pregnant. I had already lost 30lbs. So during my pregnancy i gained around 40lbs and at the time i delivered via csection i was 244lbs. at one month post partum i am 234. I am so discouraged!!! I was doing so well before pregnancy and even though i have a shiny new baby boy(hes #2 son for me) i am so tired of being fat and im back at square one! So here i am December 2010 starting my journey again...i would like to lose 100lbs by december 2011.
I have been overweight for most of my life...I was the girl who was chubby with a cute face...the one that the cheerleaders picked on, the one that the guys wanted to but were afraid of what their "friends" would say! Well i overcame that and married a wonderful man and we have two kids. I went to school for my AS in Criminal Justice but because of my weight i couldnt pass the officers physical exam so i ended up settlins as a corrections officer for a year and i just wasnt happy so when i got pregnant i used it as an excuse to get out of that jail!
But i want to be a police officer it has always been my dream and i want to be able to teach my kids to be healthy and active! I have absolutely no support in my weightloss journey and i think that i can maybe get that here. My husband doesnt understand how bad it feels to be obese! My parents and other family all say "oh you look great" but i can see in the mirror for myself! I guess they dont know that!
I would like someone to please let me know what group i should join since i want to lose 100lbs plus i am nursing so im kinda confused on that! tips for motivation and healthy eating would be nice!!! Thanks to everyone!
