Hi there! I became a SM when my daughter was 3 as well (2009). I gained about 40 lbs since 2009 going through the separation and divorce saga, which added to an already unhealthy body. I decided in Feb that I had to do something. For me it was a do or die. I had tried everything and I knew one day, I would just die of a heart attack and leave her without a mommy. I decided to have weight loss surgery, which was on July 9th. I have lost 46 lbs. With that said, you aren't as big as I was or am. But, my doctor really stresses high protein, low carb, and water water water (been slipping up on that). This seems to work for those who haven't had surgery as well. You can do this! You are your little one's best friend and she wants to model herself after you. I would suggest getting her involved in exercising too even if it's pushing her in the stroller around the block. Anyway...best of luck to you and post here when you need encouragement!0

Hey there! I am a single mom of a 2 year old little girl. I have been a single mom since before she was born. My weight has always been a problem but I lost control of it once she was born as I was so busy trying to keep up with everything else. Finally decided it was time to change that and that's what I am trying to do. I know how hard it is trying to find the time and energy to fit it all in and I am currently struggling with it but incorporating you children into the exercise makes it better. I have a bike trailer for my daughter so we can go on rides together and she loves it! We also go on stroller walks as much as we can. Another thing is letting her try to do my workout DVD's with me. She trys to do what they are doing but doesn't quite get it so its so adorable and funny which makes the workout fly right by! lol I know I have a long way to go but Im making baby steps to get there. I know you can do it too! Just make small changes and take small steps toward your goal. You've already made the first step by deciding to change your lifestyle. Great job! Keep pushing forward. Good Luck!0
