in Motivation and Support
ok so i started MFP because i really wanted to loose weight for my wedding, i have a HUGE problem area....my tummy, from pregnancy and what not...i have six beautiful babies, but now....my body isn't how i remember it and it bothers me so much, i feel like my body isn't proportiened right... anyway so i have not logged my food, exercised, watched what i ate for the last 2wks...this is actually my first time logging in, in 2 wks... I called off the wedding and since then i have (i don't to say it but) depressed and i just don't care anymore...well that is what i tried telling myself but deep down inside i do care and i feel so crumby about myself...i don't know what to do!!! i want to keep going but it's soo hard.

    First of all, congratiolations with your babies. You look way to young to have that many children. :smile: And I´m so sorry about the wedding. It must be very stressfull for you!!

    I don´t know if you can have the tummy of a 17- year again, when you have had six children. But I say Go for it!

    I get that you´re depressed right now. It might take some time. And it might be difficult to find the motivation right now. But see if you can make some small changes. Babysteps! Like stop drinking soda. Then after a week or so, stop eating sweets in the evening. And after a week or so, more vegetables. And so on. Starting out too strong might be to overwhelming right now. If you- on the other hand- is very motivated, you just go girl! Use the MFP, use your friends here for support (mine keeps me on track and kick me when I make wrong choises, but in a movational and caring way) and use the Community here.

    I so hope that you will keep on going and stay on track. You deserve to reach your goals!
