Mommy Friends Wanted

Hey y’all, I’m here, like many of you, to lose some excess weight. I’m a mom of three, ages 5, 3 and 1 and hoping to connect with other moms out there who are ALSO struggling to get the “baby” weight off while chasing littles around. I’m a SAHM, and struggle with PPD, so getting out of the house and actually working out can be a real bugger some days.
I’m 5’7 and my weight fluctuates from 240-250. I have been counting calories and eating more clean, but only gotten minimal results, so I’m taking it up a notch. My goal is to have lost at least 20 pounds by this fall.
I struggle mostly with allowing my depression to beat me up. I think things like, “Obesity runs in your family, you can’t break this cycle.” But I’m determined to. For myself, and for my kids.
If you’ve got a similar story, or even a totally different one, I’d love to hear it and connect. I’ll be in this for the long run, as my long term goal is to be around 150, and id love to make some friends for the journey.
Feel free to send me a friend request, or comment and I’ll send you one.
Happy Tuesday!
