in Introduce Yourself
I'm looking for other who are trying to do a lifestyle change. I have two small children and work full time. I find myself constantly stressed and making excuses for poor eating choices and not excercising. I have about 40 lbs to be at a healthy weight. I'm looking for support and ideas from people that are in similar situations. I'm trying to learn to make healthier choices and not use food as a crutch. I'm looking for friends with open diaries that are in this for the long haul.

    I'm in the same boat! Full time working mom. I have 2 boys and 2 step-daughters Ages 9 & 7 (yes crazy).
    We need a life style change and I am in for the long haul :)

    Yup, sounds just like me :) My two are 13 and 5, and it's just me and them and I work full time. I really get the "no excuses" part, and getting ideas for how to make time for exercise would help me as well. I'll send you a request!

    Same boat too! Working (although part time), 2 small children, and STILL trying to get to my pre-pregnancy weight (and then some). I've lost 20lbs but then got lazy. It's time for me to get back in the game and I'd love to have support and support others trying to achieve similar goals!

    I'm a new mom as well and trying to do a lifestyle change as well. I've found just cutting out processed foods helpful, and it will teach our kids good eating habits. Just shop the outside rounds at the supermarket, only going into aisles if you need something. The outside round is generally all the healthy stuff.

    My little ones are 6 years old and 10mons old and your original post sounds just like I wrote it myself. Always good to have other mommy friends that understand the “struggle” *sending friend request* :-)

    I'm so glad there are so many of you in my same boat. I have a 5 year old and a 6 month old (who will be my last). I'm trying to get the whole family in on eating better because we all could use a change.
