46 mom to 6, school, work

LadyKim66

Hi everyone. My name is Kim. I am 46 have 6 kids ages 23,21,19,18,10,8.. I am an RN but currently working in a restaurant while I have gone back to school. I have finally decided that this is MY time to start feeling better about myself. I decided to start Jan 2 since jan 1 was so cliche' LOL. ANyhow, I am beyond excited about beginning this process. It has only been 6 days but I am feeling awesome, not putting all the crap into my system.. I am so much LESS bloated. The issue I am having is that I am rarely hungry now and it's hard to make myself eat. I have yet to make the 1200 calorie goal a day.
Today was my first day with time to exercise. I walked for 30 minutes- took me an hour, but I DID it.
Besides working in a steakhouse (which really sucks right now), I also am in school full time, and have 2 kids and a husband at home.

Looking for friends and encouragement.
