in Introduce Yourself
Hello! (:
I'm Krissy, 20, stay at home mother of two, 235 lbs :(
I have about 65 pounds to lose.
Each day is such a struggle with weight loss for me.
I have nobody close for motivation, or support. My
husband always tells me "your fine just the way you are"
but i'm NOT fine. im MISERABLE!!!! i dont have any confidence,
im constantly in big shirts and sweat pants, and i have the
tendency of being an emotional eater. This week though,
i have done pretty good because i know this is my LAST
chance. I say that because im tired of letting myself down.
Ive started diet after diet and just gave up, but not this
time!!!! I need to be a good example to my kids!
Soooo, if anyone would like to help me that'd be
GREAT! (:

    Kris,
    You're on your way. 15 lb. loss already is great. I wish I was that far along. I used to tell my sons, when they thought something was insurmountable . You can do it the same way you can eat an elephant, "one bite at a time". Weight loss is the same way. Take one meal or day at a time. Having friends here is going to help because you will start to feel that you "owe" it to us to follow through on your quest. We'll be like your gym partner.
    P.S. Your husband and kids, will always love you but you have to too.

    Thats my biggest problem, i do not love myself.
    I'm really hoping and praying this site gets me
    to love the person i know thats in the inside.
    And clothes, omg, i cant wait to go shopping
    and not cry while trying on something! lol

    My husband is the same way.. I keep telling him, i wanna have a baby and being this weight I can not get pregnant! I too am hoping that this site will help me.. You know what really helps me, I go to youtube and just search zumba.. Even though I can't do what they are doing I just do my own moves and keep moving. I look funny doing it but my heart rate goes up and I feel good afterwards. Together we can get healthy and be great women!! I'm here for you :)

    You're here on MFP so that's a BIG start! You can definitely do it, you just have to commit and do it for yourself. Feel very lucky that your husband tells you such nice things even if you don't feel that way because I've seen a lot of women on here who's hubby's are awful to them about their weight, so I'm happy you have that positivity in your life!

    There is so many great, motivating people on here. Just focus on your goals, exercise, eat healthy and you will be well on your way to feeling amazing.

    I added you :)
