Hi, I am a 26 year old mother of one handsome 4 year old boy. I have been married for 2 years and have probably put on about 40 pounds in that time frame. I always heard that you let yourself go when you get married and I guess that's true. I don't think I meant to let myself go, I just got comfortable. I have let my self esteem deplenish over this time and am ready to fight and get it back. My downfall is I like to eat and have a hard time stopping when I am getting full. OH yeah and I guess it doesn't help that I love starchy foods...potatoes, pasta, and bread are my favorites. So, I am having a hard time getting my calories where they are supposed to be on here, but it is only my second day. I am ready for a change!!! Good luck to all of you and I look forward to becoming a healthier and slimmer person with all of you! :flowerforyou:
