I can totally relate to what you are going thru. Sometimes I still can't believe my husband loves my body. I'm trying to lose weight so I am as healthy as I can be when we start having babies. I've been seeing a therapist to work on my lack of self esteem. However, the biggest confidence booster I've found for myself is a regular excercise routine. It has done wonders for my confidence and my attitude, I feel great, sleep better and I'm beginning to love myself more and more everyday.
There are a lot of great ladies here. I'm glad you found us.

I'm new too! You and I have similar goals -and a similar method. I'm doing low carb too, but not exactly atkins... just not eating any sugars or anything "preprocessed" .. only meat and veggies -okay, in truth im "trying" to do it... i haven't been one hundred percent successful. but my goal date is 7/10/2005 so I Think i'm on the right track.
best of luck to you! btw, the best advice i got on losing weight was that one cheat does not mean it's over. just because you had a bite of toast doesn't mean it's okay to eat the whole toast and then add jam to it!! (which is what I used to do!!!!) one cheat is one cheat, don't make it a huge deal.
sw: 230
cw: 210
gw: 135
I don't have a scale (I've ranted long and hard about them - I'm a Scale Addict) so I measure myself once every two weeks. To date I'm down 2.5 inches on my waist and hips, and an inch everywhere else. However, the last time I weighed myself I was 235 lbs but judging from the clothes I'm wearing now I'm probably down to 220...I'll get the exact poundage when I see my doctor next month for my annual. If I was to give myself a goal right now it would be to get to 160 lbs...or a size 10, maybe a 12 (I'm a 16W right now).
As for diet, I'm not really on one. All I'm doing is eliminating (or trying to eliminate) processed foods, follow the Canadian Food Guide, and not eat anything three hours before bed. I can not deprive myself of anything so I do have one 'cheat' day but I've found that even on that day I don't go wild - well okay, there was this once with cupcakes but we don't need to talk about that. If I cut something completely from my diet that I love all I'd do is think about it constantly until I binge like there's no tomorrow.
But the biggest thing for me is staying active.
It's slow going but going!
Cheers!

I'm trying to follow weight watchers but I don't get down on myself if I have a bad day anymore. I'm human, it happens.
I can't wait to have babies with my DH. He is going to be such an awesome father. I've been getting into the new show on UPN, Kevin Hill, and when I see Taye Diggs hold that beautiful little girl, I get chills because I see my husband doing that!
I've sent you and email. Talk to you soon.
