in Introduce Yourself
Hi, I'm hoping to make some friends here to go on this jouney with. I wasn't slim before I was pregnant, and I didn't bother doing anything about it. I get migraines when I don't eat and I got into the habit of "panic eating" to avoid them, which involved grabbing anything nearby and stuffing it in my face. I never excercised. But now I need to.

I'm fed up of being too ashamed of my size to take my daughter swimming, of avoiding social functions and being unable to keep up with her running. I've had another baby, and the fat that was there before I even got pregnant is still there and has to go! I am going to stop eating trash, and make a positive step in my life. I'm fed up with comfort eating, and now it just makes me feel a bit ill when I eat unhealthily, feeling like I'm just eating pure fat.

I'm going to start slowly, I don't want to crash and burn but maintain a sensible lifestyle. I've seen some amazing success stories here, and I'd like to join those. I will not have my daughters ashamed of me.

    I definitely understand where you are coming from. I am a total optimist, but I hate when I go places with my daughters and people stare at me like I'm making them ill, and they have no idea that I'm a fun person to know! Oh well, their loss, right!
    Do not be embarrassed to spend time with your daughter. It is important to spend as much time with her as possible, because time goes by way too fast. My children have never been embarrassed by me because they know that I have have always been there for them. We teach our children how to love, respect, and to be compassionate.
    I don't know the age of your daughter, but my guess is that she would much rather have her mom with her, then not!
    I'm sending you a friend request, please accept it, because I think we can help each other!
    I am also eating better and I know what you mean about the way I feel after I eat something that isn't really good for me. It just kind of sits there and feels like I've drank a glass of oil or something...gross!
    Today can be the day you start feeling better! <3

    Friend request sent. I understand about the migraines, I get them a lot! You can do it, its good to go at your own pace, the changes and the weight lost will be more permanent that way. We can motivate eachother!

    Friend request sent. I alos get frequent migraines. I avoid a lot of social functions or have a lot of anxiety around the ones I can't because nothing fits or looks good.

    I understand completely. Being able to run after my son was a huge inspiration for me to start this. My husband suggested signing my toddler up for swimming and the thoughts of being seen in a bathing suit have made me hesitate. I don't want to live like this anymore. Together we can all do this. Sending request.

    TODAY I will change my life. I'm taking it slow one day at a time. And I'm hoping that today and today and today and today will add up. I have to take it one day at a time or I won't do it! And this time, I'm going to keep doing the work --today and today and today! Good luck on your journey!
