Hi,
I work full time, I have a son, and a boyfriend, I work full time, and I am trying to lose 29 more lbs (for a total of 72 lost). I want to be stronger, feel better, fit into my skinny clothes again, and just overall lead a better lifestyle!
I fall into this pattern where I am very successful, and just as I reach a new record, or a new goal line I seem to sabatage myself. I am looking to find people to talk to who either have the same problem or who are really good at the motivational speech. Next time I get close to a goal I want to know that I won't fall back into the same void, and it would help to have someone to talk to that I can say, "I'm so close, remind me why I can't screw it up again!"
I know that I am doing this for me, and I know that I need to do it for myself, but hearing others words of encouragement really helps keep me from that fall. I just know that if I could get past the next hurdle that I will be fueled by success rather than a desire to catch back up to where I was the last time.
Add me please!
