hi, my name is Liz. I am 22 and a first time mom. I have struggled with my self image and weight fluctuation my entire life and when I got on track again I got pregnant and gave up total control
Of my eating habits and used the excuse "I'm pregnant and will take the weight off later" well later is now and family health history has made me very aware of the seriousness of changing my entire life while I am young before it's too late.
I have a lot of weight I want to lose and for the first time in my life I have a very valid reason to. I struggle with staying motivated as well as eating in general (forgetting to eat is my biggest issue so I consume my calories via beverages (non alcoholic tho)
I want to stay focused this time and I have to get this weight off. I don't want to end up like so many of older family members who sit on the side line and never participated in their children's activities or create family get togethers that are essentially eating and talking.
I also want to raise my son being confident and not scared of everything because of weight or that sort of thing like I was raised.
This is way more than anyone needed to know, but if I'm going to do this and keep the weight off I guess I have to be as honest as humanly possible right?
