Hi Im completely new to the group. i'm struggling with my family resisting the changes i'm trying to make to the family's eating habits. i need help in staying strong and keep making changes to my diet at least without getting discouraged.

Hello, If you would like to Add me to your friends list that would be ok!! I am a mother of 5 children I have twins that are 5 going on 6 I have a seven year old and a 8 year old and a 16 year old step son. I thought I had no time to be healthy my heaviest weight was 240 lbs nobody told me I was over weight and I didn't have time to look in the mirror. Well one of my little twins looked at me one day and said mommy you are getting fat... I thought to myself should I tell him that's not nice to say or what... Well that night I looked in the mirror and I saw what I was becoming, at that moment I felt I needed to go through a change and I didn't know how to do that change.. Well went to the doctor and he said you want to lose weight I said well ya. I asked if they had a miracle pill lol He told me know the only way to lose weight is to start putting yourself first. So I started getting up at 5:00 am to do an hour workout at the fitness Club, I also started to watch what I was eating, and what I wasn't eating. Well I am still on my journey... But I can say I am half way home, and if it wasn't for the good Lord then I would have gave up and went back to my old habits. I give him all the credit. Just give it all to the Lord he will answer your calls and tell you what needs to be done in your life to get your body healthy and your mind healthy!!!!
