in Introduce Yourself
Hello everyone just thought I would say hello and say that I am ready to make a big change in my life. I am a mom of two wonderful little girls that are 9, 5. I have battled my weight all of my life. I have so much going against me with heart disease on both sides of my family, diabetes, high blood pressure pretty much anything and everything. I am so tired of being the fat mom as what my daughter calls me. It really hurts and I try to tell her that and she really doesn't understand.

I am ready to make the change for my health. I am ready to get the skinny person out of this fat body and ready to show my husband that yes I can look good. Have a wonderful evening.

    You've definitely come to the right place. I've only been on MFP for a month, but I'm already seeing results.

    Good luck.:smile:

    Welcome and today is the begining. :wink: You will get a lot of support here and good advice.

    My advise is to not cheat on your food diary, leave the past in the past, dont' beat yourself up on the bad days and don't deny yourself food. Moderation and portion control are your guide. .

    I wish you much success here and some one on this site is going throught the same exact thing.

    Hi Molly..Welcome to MFP! By the sounds of it you are in the exact place to make some big changes in your life. You made the decision to do it for YOU and that's when folks here are most successful!

    Hang in there.....as you get healthier you'll be able to be that example for the kids on sensitivity, healthy eating and respect. Kids say all sorts of things...and yes, they are only kids but yup, it sure can hurt....I imagine especially being your own.

    Jump in as it looks like you have been and keep posting, using all the tools and you shall conquer and realize there is even more to gain here than weight loss!!!:flowerforyou:

    I'm proud of your decision to come here for a change in your life:drinker:

    I was the fat mom, too, and completely understand. 10 months ago, I was where you are now. And I'm no longer the fat mom! 57 lbs gone, and another 31 to go. But let me tell you, it's worth every effort to take care of yourself and be healthy, happy and beautiful. Good luck!
