New to SB
 

Hi everyone, I will be starting the SB diet tomorrow and wanted to introduce myself. I am 27, married to an amazing man, and a mom to a beautiful 7 month old baby girl. I am also 236 lbs and feel absolutely disgusted with myself most of the time. I grew up with a mom who was always overweight, and always on diet and I followed in her footsteps. More then anything I want my little girl to grow up with a mom who is healthy, and energetic and confident. I hope that I can get to know some of you and we can support one another. :)

Hi Shine!
Welcome! I just started SBD two days ago. I know what you mean about your mom. I grew up the same way and I am watching myself follow in her footsteps. My mom lives with us and I even have the same pains that she has! I just can't do this anymore! I have a 5 year old daughter and 3 year old triplets. We have to be healthy for ourselves and so we can be good role models for them. Not to mention, running and chasing them! :)
You can do this! The way I look at it, I'm learning to cook healthy for myself and my family. A way of life!

I am 240lbs and have 3 kids.. the youngest in 7 weeks old.. before my pregnancy I had lost 40lbs on this diet over a period of 3 months and it worked wonderful for me. I am starting my diet now slowly, but after next week I will go back to phase 1. I am having surgery on the 21st and I want to be strong for it..
