So in the past 18 weeks I have lost 30lbs. I never would have thought it was possible if you asked me this 18 weeks ago. I am now only 3lbs away from the weight I was when I got pregnant with my second child and only 4lbs away from no longer being considered obese by my bmi. I still have 53lbs to go, but I'm ready for it. While physically I have gotten smaller, mentally I have grown so much.

    Honestly, I just keep my diet and portion control in control. I have a shoulder injury that has caused severe tendinitis in my shoulder and back, so I can't exercise. My family ate relatively healthy before, but I ate way more then I should have. I don't count calories, because mentally I would just get overwhelmed by it and give up, so I listen to my body very carefully. The first signs of my body saying I'm full, I stop and drink a glass of water so I don't get the Phantom hungerness lol. Though I do make healthier snack options then I used to. You know an apple instead of chips kind of thing. But I do not limit myself to what I eat, if I want a piece of cake, I have it, just a very small piece. I know me, and know it will just become a huge thing where I will crave it till I give in and then end up eating more then I should. And if my family decides they want something unhealthy then we usually bring it home and I make myself something healthy. My husband has been very supportive throughout all of this and doesn't complain about my new quarks lol

    It's really amazing if you have a supportive partner in life. He usually kicks my butt when I am being lazy, haha.

    I gained a lot of weight after having my baby due to depression and stress. Now, I am working hard to take it off.
