When I first started this site 2 years ago, I quickly became obsessed and fully committed. That waned last fall when I fell and love and became distracted. Now I'm living with a wonderful man and together we have three kids. Unfortunately his job at the present keeps him gone long hours and currently for 8 days on a project out of town. I love these kids and I hate that I am their only attention (they are 9 and under) I used to go straight from work to the gym but now I pick up the youngest and head home. I've stopped taking care of myself and the weight has come back quickly. I was down to 203 in October and I'm back at 228. Its awful. I keep trying to shake my resolve and get restarted but I hasn't stuck. I feel overwhelmed and stressed 95% of my day. I'm stress eating and having temporary bouts of complete apathy. Help!

Exercise with the kids. It's good for both of you and they are getting your still attention. You can go for walks, play at the park, etc. My 3 year old likes to try and exercise with me if I have a DVD in too. They will have fun with just about anything and you are teaching them good lifestyle habits too. Good luck!0

You don't have to go to the gym to workout. Take the kids for a hike. Stream some videos on Netflix, Hulu, or even YouTube. Invest in some exercise videos. Workout before/after the kids are in bed, if you can't get them interested in working out with you.
You can do it!0
