I'm in control

I previously lost 50 pounds and then gained it all back. ALL last year I struggled to get back on track and still can't seem to. But today I had a thought that I think might help me. My husband and I have been trying to get pregnant since May.....we got pregnant in December, only to lose it at 4 weeks. I've been very frustrated with that, I just want to be pregnant NOW. Then it dawned on me, aside from good timing, I don't have much control over getting pregnant, but I have absolute control over losing weight. If I eat right and exercise, I will lose weight. I will feel better about myself, and the less extra weight I carry around, the better chance I have of getting pregnant.

It kind of seems like an obvious thing, that we are in charge of our weightloss, but I guess sometimes you just feel like the food is speaking to you and you have no control, but we do!
