    You can't rely or depend on something that you need to do for you.

    Instead of grabbing a snack, grab a big jug of water and do a short workout or go out for a walk.

    Hi. I do in home care for the elderly. I started out at 272 and now down 80lbs. I know it's not easy but it can be done. My husband is skinny and is known to eat crap. Sometimes I try not to look to avoid being tempted if I don't have room for it.

    You've already had plenty of responses, but if you want to add another friend, feel free.

    I agree with most of above. We all have a lot to deal with. When You decide what is most important, then its Important and Will be done. When that is taking care of YOU, you will.

    I'm married, have two kids that are 4 and 6, a full time job, and a second job. I work out at least 5 days a week. I've learned I Have to do it in the AM because otherwise every other excuse will get me. I will admit, those excuses still hit my eating sometimes. That IS changing though -- and will be there when I decide it HAS to.

    This sounds important to you. So make it a priority and do it. The lack of support from your friends and husband makes it harder but you can still do it. Last year I was 50 pounds overweight and watched my wife go to the gym. She kept going anyway, and eventually I decided I didn't want to be the fat husband. I decided to change and lost 40 pounds in 4 months. My wife showed me the way. So can you. Step up and do it, and show your friends and husband how to do it. You will inspire everyone!

    Hi, I am an RN, so I know and appreciate all the hard work our CNA's do!! They areoften the only thing that makes the patient happy. ;-) Stress is great motivation to not care about eating healthy, but you have to want to be healthy, more than youwant to eat the food that is tempting you!!

    You have it within you to do this, as you are doing it for great reasons!! You want to be healthy, you want to be lighter, for your horse and you know it is time!!

    It's not easy, but nothing that is worth it, ever is!! Feel free to add me if you'd like. I am close to goal, but lowering my goal by about 5 to 10 pounds. Then I start maintenance, which I think will be even harder!! I would love to get to know you on your journey and wish you the best!!
