This time it HAS to stick

Okay. I am sick and tired of feeling bad about the way I look. I want to take back my body for me. Purely selfish reasons but gosh darn it why not. I'm not obese and I am kind of pretty. I could easily survive how I look now...but I want to thrive. I want to be happy with my body and I want to be happy showing it off. It's April 20th and bathing suit season is basically here, I don't want to wear shorts to the beach. I want to run on the beach without worrying about my jiggly bits. I want to stop having stomach issues because of what I'm eating. I want to stop saying 'oh well' when I fall off the wagon. I want to be active and alive. I don't want to be ashamed of my body anymore. It starts right NOW.

Ditto! That was the same conclusion that i came to after several attempts over the years. I need to look how i want to feel, damn good about me.

Yay! I feel the exact same way!! I have had 3 children & have constantly just told myself that it's just what happens when you have children to try & make myself feel better. I love who I am, but I just want to find the motivation that I used to have before the kiddos to workout & stay active again. I am not satisfied with the "jiggly parts" & I am more than ready to fix it! I am working on a lifestyle change this time & not just a "diet". (I despise that word btw! Lol) I am working hard to tackle this journey & make it stay that way this time! Good luck to you! If you want to add me, maybe we can support each other as we try to tackle this! lol

I'm in the same boat and definitely struggling with my motivation. I try to stick to counting calories but I feel constantly hungry. I need to make this change for my own mental well-being. Physically I'm healthy, but so unhappy with the excess. I'm looking for more friends to keep me encouraged and for me to encourage as well! Thanks!
