in Introduce Yourself
Hello, my name is Sarah, I just recently (1year) gained 50 lbs... I used to do all orts of sports and lived with my parents, we always ate at regular times. When I got married I slowly started gaining weight. Now 2 1/2 years ago we got stationed in Japan, and my Husband is constantly deployed or gone for trainings and temporary duty, I dont really get out of the house or have close friends. I want to loose all this extra weight that I gained, but every time I start eating healthy and exercising I cant keep up with it... And it is getting really frustrating.
He is deployed right now and I wanted to try and loose as much weight as can by the time he comes home and surprise him with a sexier wife.. haha
also we are going to australia in November and I dont want to sit on the beach in jeans and a sweater.
I pretty much lost all my confidence and it is making me miserable...
If any one has any tips for me, i would be very gratefull.

Thank you!!

    Sarah-sounds like stress might be a factor. Your husband being gone a lot, moving, not knowing anyone. I agree, add some friends from this sight. We are all in the same boat here!!! Eat fresh foods whenever possible-vegtables and fruits-whatever is available locally and fish and lean meat-mostly chicken and turkey if you can get that where you live. Perhaps there is an exercise group among the other military wives you can join. Otherwise find a gym that offers a personal training program geared toward your needs and goals-that has really helped me. Good luck! You Can do this!!!

    aaah, the stress of the military wife, I know it well! ;) Just know, that it can and WILL be done. What does your hubby do? I have a few friends that came over from Japan 2 to 3ish years ago! Glad you added me!
