Need motivation

OliveCarsey

I really need some motivation- I don't have any sort of support system here at home. I've been having a real hard time with snacking at night again. My husband is back to trying to get me to quit losing weight- he is going to the store and getting my favs and at midnight when i am tired but still have things to do I have no willpower. I told him today to stop or I was leaving- I understand he is worried I am losing the weight so i can leave him but my main reason to lose weight is for my daughter- she is only 14 and weighs 220, she is 5'9- since I have started this she has lost 9 pounds- I want her to be healthy and not worry so much about her shape/weight. I have been heavy since he met me, and would love to be back to the size i was when he first met me, or even better back to my pre-preg size.

Its how you feel! Its your body, and if your husband wants to fatten you up by buying you fat things let him. Just feed it to the dog or only eat some! Make your own food, but honestly it doesn't matter really what you eat (of course sweets every day isn't necessarily healthy) but as long as you exercise, have a caloric deficit, and most of all be CONSISTENT then you will lose weight, maybe not today, or tomorrow, but do things right, have a negative calorie balance, and i GUARANTEE that you will look and feel 100% better this time next year. Its tough losing weight. I maybe lucky that all i need is myself to be motivated (my personal people dont seem to much care to tell me if im fat) but ive gained and lost fat twice on my own initiative in my life. You need to be your support system most of all, because if you don't think you can do it, then you definitely wont.

But I will friend you and stalk you and comment and judge you if you need it lol

I just started a Biggest Loser at my work and it has really helped a lot of people get motivated. It started out with only three of us and in the last week has grown to 22 people. I know having to weigh in keeps me motivated, and the cash isn't a bad bonus either. I hope you can also use your daughter as motivation. You seem to have everything lined up for success. Do not let your husband determine if you succeed. You can do it, just think of what it will mean to your daughter.

I don't understand why your husband would do that to you, it's not right! Is he insecure with himself? Your daughter being
14 needs to learn the healthy way of eating now or she will have some health and weight issues later in life and you, I know
wouldn't want that for her. I would sit down with your husband and have a serious talk with him and let him know that you love
him, but you are not happy with your weight and he can either get on board with it or you will have to do what's best for you and
your daughter. I know this may sound harsh, but we are talking about your life here. Best of luck to you and feel free to add me
as a friend if you would like.
