in Introduce Yourself
Hello!
I joined this site awhile ago but am now making an effort to utilize it... I am married with 2 boys ages 8 and 1 1/2. I come from a family that enjoys food (on both sides) and struggle to keep to my plan while everyone around me is eating what I shouldn't :happy:

I am looking for friends on here to help each other keep motivated, since my husbands idea of motivation is it's ok to cheat this once...

Thanks!!

    Hi,
    I am also from a family who knows no moderation when it comes to food, and my husband has always been able to eat pretty much anything without putting on weight! I commend you for getting on track to a healthy weight while you are still young! I am 54, and it gets much harder as you get older, but I am keeping a positive attitude because I am determined to reach & maintain a weight that lets me enjoy an active life.
    I sent you a friend request & hope we can help each other stay on track!

    agreed on that. a cheat day maybe once a month or once every 3 weeks can be ok. even less is better. just try not to cheat too much :)

    Hi! I have a 10 yo and everything about family and food matches my life exactly. You may add me. I'm looking for motivation as well!

    @sheepy, don't you just hate that! I have people that encourage me to eat as well. Last night I got a text "I've got chocolate candy, want some". It may have been a joke but come on. Like OP, my husband sits on the sofa stuffing cookies, cakes or chips in his mouth, makes me drool. Now I just leave the room, LOL

    Hi Jamie! I'm adding you - we're all in this together - always glad to have support. My husband is in wonderful shape (has worked out all his life) and finds it confusing sometimes that I just have to look at food and gain but after a gazillion years together we're finally coming to understand each other! The more I do this the easier it is to adjust my food plan for the times I don't want to seem different. It's all in the planning.
