My very first NSV!!!!

This NSV may be a little silly, but it hit me really well!

I have two kids andI just kept letting my weight get away from me. I Made every excuse in the book for my weight instead of accepting responsibilities for my own actions. I have learned in the past 3 years that I am a stress eater and with 2 special needs kids, I definitely relied on food WAY TOO MUCH! Then I finally realized that I need to be healthy because my kids need me more than most. So......

I started mfp the first of this year, I am obese (5 lbs away from overweight now!). I started following mfp calorie suggestions at 1400 then to 1290 and making healthier food decisions as I lost weight....and it was working! But I noticed that I was really cranky, hungry and tired, plus, Instill have quite a bit to lose....how was I going to do that when my calories were getting so low? so after going back and forth in my head, I upped my calories to TDEE - 20% and now I'm at 1870....and guess what, I am still losing! I feel full, more energy and happier Plus, I love food. Like, really love food. Whatever changes I made, I needed to know that I could continue this way for the rest of my life.

I started out using my wii fit and I thought I was getting some exercise using that along with weights, but then I started 30DS and as it turns out, I didn't know what sweating was!!!! I love it!

My NSV is that yesterday my 3 yr old daughter came up to me and asked if she could do "jump-n-claps" with me And then this morning (while I saw doing 30ds) she walked over, stood over me with her hands on her hips and said "you need a little person to tell you what to do" and continued repeating what Jillian Micheals was saying on tv! I love it! Not only am I getting healthier, my kids are learning healthier habits as well!
