edited November 2024 in Getting Started
In 2011, at 25 years old, I started a journey to lose a lot of weight. I started at 267 and hit my lowest at 179 the following summer. I was thrilled! Then in 2013 I got pregnant with the baby I lost all the weight to have. Morning sickness brought back bad eating habits. Workouts went out the window. I forgot all that I had worked so hard to achieve. I actually didn't gain too much while pregnant, it was after the baby that the weight started to come back on. Too tired to cook or exercise, I am now sitting at 240 at my son's 2nd birthday, and that isn't counting the 10lbs I've lost since January. Not good...

I want to remember who I was before, when I was proud of myself. So I guess I am asking for some moral support to help keep me on it. My biggest problem this time around is that I have to remember that it isn't going to come back off overnight. The first time, it was all new and exciting, this time I am impatient and anxious to get back to where I was before. I need to get there! :)
