I feel strange writing this post but here it is. I am a mom of 4 kids, ages 9 6 2 and 4 months. I love them very much and in the past I kept saying that I have to lose weight for my kids. As the years went by my habits have not changed even though I thought I was really working hard on losing weight. My 6 year old is a beautiful little girl who is over weight and my 9 year old son is headed that way as well. I kept telling myself that if I want them to be healthy then I have to practice what I preach. However I realized that doing it for my kids was not enough of a motivation. I know that sounds selfish but the reality is doing it for others no matter how good the reason is, is never enough. I realized that I have to be extremely selfish and do this for me. Im not doing it for my husband or my kids, I want this for me. I want to fit back in to the clothes that was able to wear 10 years ago, and to eventually get down to size 12 in womens clothing. I have a very long way to go but im hoping people will be willing to be friends on here and help motivate me to achieve what I want more then anything else.
