Help me "get there"

I have had issues with my weight since I hit puberty. I am not obese, but I am overweight. There is such a long story but the most important part is that I lost 60+ lbs on ww when I was in college and I felt great. Then I went through a major life change, moved, developed IBS due to stress and lost a lot more weight. THe sick thing is that I loved my body when I was that thin but I wasn't healthy. I met my husband became completely happy and got healthy again. That meaning gained some weight back. I got pregnant and gained only 29 lbs which was great, lost half of that and then had chrinic hives for 8 months. Gained 15 lbs due to all kinds of meds that I had to try. Now I want this so badly, to be healthy, but I can't stop snacking and eating the wrong things. I read message boards, blogs, make plans in my head, but I sabotage myself every day. I used to have this amazing will power and now I don't know what happened to it. I have a 3yo and we want to have another at some point. HELP!

You can add me. I would sabatoge myself also, just wait til everyone left the house then eat, eat, and eat more. Then feel totally guilty and mad. It's hard at first, have to get in the swing of things, then once you see the pounds come off, you don't want to ruin what you have already done.

First few weeks are hard, but make yourself little goals and you will feel good about meeting them.

You can add me to help.

Start slow.... going all out led me to burn out and I would go back to where I started, eating too much of the wrong foods, snacking, and no exercise. You can do it. You can add me!

Thanks everyone! I charged up my fitbit last night and I am ready for a new day. I need to start saying no to myslef. I need to re learn moderation. I need to not eat just bc there seems like there is nothing else to do. I need to do the work.
