I can't be un-healthy one more day!! I'm only 36 and feel like crap. I have numerous health issues that are directly linked to being overweight. I always put others needs before mine and I think it's time to start being a little bit "selfish" and take care of me. I need all the help I can get :) here's where I stand..

Sw-around 260ish
Goal weight- 170
5'7"

Add me please!

    When I started I had about 180lbs to lose, and I'm half way there now. You are worth it! Your health should be one of your top priorities, even if you do have kids, family obligations or other time/emotionally consuming things in your life. Who is going to be around if you're not, to take care of yourself/your family? It's time to change! For me it couldn't have come at a better time.

    Remember the need to care for yourself or you may not be able to care for those you love. It can be difficult, I know.

    This is very common for women - always taking care of others. I've been doing it forever, and I'm trying to schedule in my exercise time and time for cooking right. If you can take care of yourself better, you will be a better person for those others. Best of luck! I'll add you too.

    As a wife and mother, I always put my family first and myself 4th or 5th, but I am learning to say no and becoming a little selfish. This is the only way I find the time to take care of me.

    I so can relate to what you're sayin - we are constantly in the habit of putting the needs of others first and then we become frustrated and a little resentful, well I know I do being a mum of three sons. Good on you for realising this and for having enough of your current situation and wanting to do something about it. Good luck to you :flowerforyou:
