Not gonna be a 'sideline' mama! (in Wisconsin)

melk513

I'm not new to mfp. I've been using it on and of for about 3 years. The first time, I lost 20 pounds and was finally able to get pregnant! Used it again after my son was born to lose the first 20# of baby weight. Then I switched to a 'fad' diet and quickly lost the other 30 pounds. But alas, it came back when I realized how much depriving myself was hurting me. I was constantly anary and felt agitated. Felt guilty and beat myself up when I enjoyed a treat wit my now 2 year old son. Enough is enough! That wasn't how I wanted to live or feel. So I'm back to what makes sense to me!

So like I said, I have a 2 year old boy... he never stops! He's on the go from morning till bedtime! I love that about him! Now, and as he grows older and gets into sports and other activities, I want to be able to be active and keep up with him. I don't want to be that mom I see sitting at the park on the phone on a bench while her kids play. I don't want to be sidelined because I'm over weight and out of shape! I want him to grow up with a different attitude about food and being active than I did so hopefully he will not struggle like I have. I want better for him. That is requiring ME to make changes myself so I can be a better role model for him.

I'm always open to meeting new people, so feel free to send me a friend request. You don't have to have kids or be a certain age or anything like that. .. just looking to meet other people who have decided enough is enough and are ready to make changes! Let's help each other out with motivation, support and encouragement! ????

Ps. Excuse any spelling errors, my phone auto corrects way to often!
