Hey guys,
Im a mom of three wonderful (and crazy) kids! Im a certified personal trainer who works as a gym teacher in a preschool. I am starting nursing school at the end of feb. I gained 45lbs with my first preg and since then it all seems to stick. ARGH. Well its not a new story I have been overweight most of my life....but when i was in high school i started losing weight and kept it off till i had kids. Now its time for me to say goodbye to this weight and say hello to that body that is deep down beneath the folds of my fat!

Welcome back! I know how it is. I have to admit that I've struggled with it my whole life too. I did better in highschool and up till I had kids, but the ugly truth is that I've lost over 300 lbs in my life and I'm still back close to where I started. Yup... I keep loosing the same pounds over and over and over. It sucks. This time is different because the goal isn't a number, it's a lifestyle. I've accepted the fact that like a diabetic, I am going to have to keep track of what I am eating every meal, every day for the rest of my life. I'm okay with that now. I've just gotta keep working at it till it's a habit and remind myself that even if I binge, I gotta count it. That right there, makes a huge difference in the frequency and severity of the binge.

That is what I am working on right now. Tracking everything I eat. No matter what it is or how much of it I ate.0
