Very sad reason for being motivated

Im leanne I'm 22. Will be 23 next week.

I've yo-yo dieted my whole life. I've never really wanted it. I've got 2 children, fertility struggles and since my youngest I had 2 early miscarriages but just over 2 weeks ago my youngest was born sleeping at 19 weeks pregnant. A daughter too precious for this earth. Being obese put me at higher risk for a late loss or a stillbirth but I was sure I wouldn't be a statistic like that but now I am. I'd love more children and now know the real medical dangers of being obese so I'm here and I will get fit before getting pregnant again! I have 111lb left to lose. I've already lost 18lb in the 2 weeks since I've had my daughter so it's a start.

Thanks for reading. I'd love some friends for motivation too!

    Oh how sad. This must be terrible for you.

    I think that using your grief as motivation to become a heathier person is very noble of you. It really is wonderful what a mother will do for her children's sake, and that includes her future children, too. Also, you are setting a wonderful example for everyone e around you.

    I wish you many blessings.
