Hi everyone, my name is Rachel and im 29 years old and I have 3 kids. I was never heavy growing up and didnt start gaining a lot of weight until i met my husband about 10 years ago. I got up to 188 lbs and then lost 20....about 8 years ago. I since, between my 2 oldest kids, remained about 163 lbs. After my son was born 2 years ago i got on a health kick, i went down to 126 lbs...worked out or ran every day and was an inspiration to many people. I even held weight loss challenges for my friends. Then i dont know what happened. Ever since the end of last summer, i slowly started becoming obssessed with food and the scale has just been going up and up. I weighed myself this morning at 158 lbs. I looked at pictures of myself from my sons birthday party we had yesterday and am mortified....but because im so upset with the way ive let myself get....ive just been eating more. I want to become the person I was....i hope this forum can get my head out of the chip bag and back into being healthy again. Thanks
 
Hi Rachel,

I've been where you are so many times. If you are anything like me, you are feeling overwhelmed right now thinking back on all the work it took you to get down to your goal weight before. That's why my advice to you right now is just to do something. Forget about being perfect, forget about whatever you ate today or yesterday. Drink a glass of water, eat a piece of fruit, and get out and do some exercise. Don't put too much pressure on yourself for now just try to get things moving.
You should start feeling some more motivation to work with after.
