Hello! Mother of 4 here!

jpalocy77

My name is Jen. I am 36 years old (ugh) I am a mom of 4 wonderful girls. I am currently not married, but been married twice, and currently have been with my man for a little over 5 years, and happily may I add! I have struggled with my weight since as long as I can remember. I am never TOO fat, or TOO skinny, I feel I'm medium with everyone else, but *I* am not happy with my weight, and I think that matters more than anything. I am always been between 150 to 175, right now I am at the height of that 175 weighing in at 171 this week. (just a note i'm 5'2) (yuck) I can't say that I'm uneducated when it comes to weight loss, cause about 6 years ago, I embarked on a mission to get skinny. I started body for life, and worked out 6 days a week, and journal ed every bit of my food. It was difficult and alot of work, but man was it worth it. I never felt better in my entire life. I lost 25 lbs in about 5 months. After that my marriage went down hill, and I slipped back into my old ways. I got put on welbutrin, and that definitely curbed my appetite and made me maintain my weight of 150 at the time.

I decided I wanted to feel good about myself, and I wanted my man to really WANT me. I am shy of my weight, and I cover everything head to toe cause I hate the way I feel about myself. I had an ex abusive husband, who would remind me of my downfalls all the time. I currently went to a weight loss clinic and started on lipotrin and b12 shots, as well HCG dissolve tablets. I am unsure on how this is going to work because it kind of goes against everything I learned from body for life. They want me to eat 960 calories a day, that seems impossible, but I will say since I started the HCG tablets (whether its psychological or physical) I dont feel as hungry, and I have more energy (might be a result of the lipotrin shot as well) I just started journaling my food, and trying to be more aware, its hard, but at least I know i'm capable. I'm hoping I can get involved in the forums, and start being accountable! Thanks for reading! HOpe to get to know some of you! Thanks
