New and trying to keep motivated!!! Hello

Options
I joined this because i have been on so many diets and have had results but then go right back to my old ways and gain all my weight back plus some. My husband works out of state a lot and so its just me and my kids most of the time. Makes it very hard to diet with little kids in the house that want snacks all the time. I need help staying motivated and encouraged. I have read a lot on here and I really think this will help.

Any way Hello and I look forward to talking to everyone.

    This is the first time I have EVERY reply to anyone’s blog. I understand how you feel. I am one that will give up, fast if I dont see changes. I can't give up this time, not for any health issues, it is just that I want to look cute in my clothes. I am SICK OF BEING FAT. SICK AND TIRED OF BEING SICK AND TIRED.

    I must motivate myself because no one loves me like me. I love my children but I have to love me first.

    Stay encourged.

    I know what you mean about dieting. It seems I have done it all as well. You lose the weight quickly, but it comes back quickly too when you get off the diet - and you put on more than you lost!!! I love MFP because it feels like it is a lifetime change for me. I have only been here a month but I love it!!!

    Good luck and stay motivated.
