Hi everyone!
Im 23 female, married & have two beautiful children. I was a slim happy size 12 after the birth of my second :) but then in the last two years i dont know how i let myself spin out of control while studying for my alevel exams...and have gained 90 plus pounds! :(:( Im really struglling to start calorie counting & excercising as i keep finding an excuse to put it off..its like something in me is scared of failing so i want to aviod the situation altogether. . but i really have to do this because i realise how un healthy it has made me, apperance wise and emotionally i cant deal with normal day to day things, aviod photos, friends, family, socialising in general. . and its affecting my normal routine and the people around me. I want to look good for my age, not feel and look like a 50 plus woman! which right now i feel like one! DRopping my kids to school i am the only fat frumpy looking mom! the rest r yummy mummys!
I hope i can find inspiration here & encouragment and start this Journey now and lose all my weight.... I desperatley want myself back..i dont recongise me anymore?

Thank You all x
Sadiah, x x
PS: I've given myself a year to lose the weight, hopefully by the summer of 2013 il be back in my size 12's :)

    Hi Sadiah,

    You've taken the first step, joining MFP. Take things one day at a time,not having a go at something just in case you may fail sounds just like me, I was like that for years, if you don't try you don't know what you can achieve, if you have a bad day, don't worry, just draw a line under it and move to the next, we've all been there. If you have a day when you are struggling, just look at your children and think about all the things you will be able to do with them when you've lost the weight, think of the healthy example you will be giving them, how proud your friends and family will be of you.

    From what you've said, I think you are ready to do this, the reasons and motivation are there, one day at a time, this is not a diet, its a change of your old life style to a happier, healthier one :happy:

    Good luck, I believe you will do it, add me as a friend if you wish, I'm on here every day.

    Take care :smile:
    Cheryl
