That's me! I'm a mom of 3 from the Midwest, trying it again--but trying to do it differently--trying to look at life and weight loss with new eyes. Just thought I'm actually put myself out her and introduce myself. Hope to keep chatting with ya!

It takes a few times for most people, I think. One of the biggest challenges is simply self-knowledge: what triggers my overeating? What does fullness feel like for me? Why does arguing with my 17 year-old daughter make me feel like eating the world's biggest bag of cheetos?!!! It is definitely a 'progress' and not 'perfection' kind of thing. Be kind to yourself, forgive yourself and get up every morning and do the best you can--find what inspires you. Good luck! Remember, you're a mom and moms can do anything0

Love your words of wisdom! Self-knowledge--so true. In my house, I can rarely find a moment of quiet--and I need quiet sometimes. But more than that, I need to figure out how to need less quiet and find peace in the noisy, 3 kid crazy house. I think it's possible, but yes a process. LOL. Not sure if that relates to what you said, but it's what popped into my head.0

Please add me too! ginamc04
We need to put ourselves first so we can take care of our families. I used to find every excuse in the book (and my book was BIG) but now, I HAVE to workout, its like brushing my teeth. I'm a better wife, mom & person when I get my exercise done.
Tell everyone around you that you are on a mission to save your health, so no more processed snacks, soda or anything like that!

I'm "trying again," too, which makes me kind of mad at myself that I let myself get to the point of need to try again! I just did this in 2009 and then let it creep back again! I'm hoping I can figure out other ways to deal with stress besides, as louellen said, devouring a huge bag of Cheetos!
Add me and we can support each other!0 -
