Hello!
I've been looking for a way to find on going support in weight loss for a long time and stumbled across this site today! I'm going to give it a shot!
I'm 31 years old and have 3 amazing children (6, 4 & 2). Since having my kids I haven't been able to keep myself committed to a healthy way of living. After a childhood of being overweight and miserable about it, I turned things around at 18 and maintained a healthy diet and exercised all the time. I was especially and mostly successful when I was involved in competitions that we ran at the office.
Now - I'm just stuck in that old rut!
I have a tendency to binge eat. Now that I stay home with the kids I often lack the structure of meal and snack times that working in an office gave me. The food is always calling my name. My self control feels nonexistent most of the time and without the competition, I cant seem to get motivated. I start with good intentions every few weeks and just fizzle out after a few days.
It's frustrating and embarrassing for me. I feel uncomfortable in my own skin. I would love to find that motivation that I used to have.
I currently weigh 154.8lbs at 5'2 and would love to get down to 125-130, where I was comfortable in my early 20's.
Today, I did a P90X3 workout, took my vitamins, have been drinking water and counting calories and I feel hopeful!
I would love to join this community to support others and hopefully keep myself motivated on this journey!
Thanks for reading
