Default Want to live to see my son's graduation

Hi


I am Tasha and I currently weight 211 pounds. I really want to lose all the weight and see what I really look like. I want to be there to see my son graduating, want to be there for his kids etcc,,, coz he deserves a mum who is healthy and fit

I have always been a chubby girl and growing up with super skinny cousins have face my share of insults and jibes. The max i was overweight was by 20-30 punds. Then I moved out and attended Uni in another state. This is when I ballooned to a 185 pounds( courtesy comfort food and erractic schedules). Time and again I lost some of the wight but never in the ball park of where I wanted to be


I was diagnosed with PCOS in my late 20s but miraculously feel pregnant without any effort. Gained a lot of weight in the 9 months and haven't been able to shed any of it. My DD is now 2.5 yrs old and I am at a breaking point. Losing weight has been very very hard, but I gotta do it this time

I dont want to be tired forever. I want to look good and feel proud about myself.

I have started a Eat to live 6 wk challenge as a first step.

Look forward to having some support and motivation along this difficult but not impossible journey

PS: Thanks for getting through my very long post :-)

Tasha

Hey Tasha

That was an amazing heartfelt introduction. Sometimes we need to put on weight for emotional protection. Please don't beat yourself up about it, you clearly love your son and want to be there for him on his big day, but you also need to think about yourself also.

We are all in the same boat here so hopefully you shall find the support you are looking for.
