Need some motivated people to keep me going!

I can relate to a need for motivation. I started with this site a few months ago and walked away. I have been back for a month now and though I have lost a little weight, I have alot more to lose. Gaining all my weight in my adult years has been tough coupled with three pregnancies. My husband is supportive, but he did not marry this fat girl - she just evolved. Sometimes I think it will never come off and whether I should make my peace with that or channel that negativity into something else. Besides being a mother of three and a wife, I work full time and I am in school to complete my undergrad degree. If anyone has any advice on juggling things like this to make sure a workout takes place each day I would love any tips or tricks.

Have you ever heard the saying, "If you need something done, give it to a busy person." You are a wife, a mother, a student and an employee. You definitely qualify as a busy person! The best thing you can do is make a schedule. I know it sounds kooky at first but schedule your workouts, your classwork, your date night! You may not always be able to stick to it but if you have a plan in place, you're more likely to stick with it! Too often we come home from work exhausted and can't get motivated to do a workout much less cook, spend time with our kids and do homework. If you have a schedule, and the family sees you respecting it, they will learn to respect it too. If they see you breaking it every other day, they will think that they can dictate YOUR time. You can get through this and you'll have days that are harder than others but in the end, you will be a role model for your family of how to attain your goal, whether its weight loss, your degree, or just a fantastic family! Feel free to friend me because I have definitely been where you are and you are not alone! :flowerforyou:
