I have been a member here in the past and my career, life and other issues made me stray. After losing a bunch of weight emotional eating from the death of my brother taking hormones and stress eating have cause me to regain and then some.
Well Tuesday I lost my job. Yeah, it really sucks I am a single mom without a job. I go to college, coach soccer (yes I run around with the munckins 3 hours a week) and now I am unemployed. I have a co-ed team of ten in soccer and at 290 they are killing me running up and down the field. But hey --I do manage to do it.
I decided not to let the losing my job thing get me down, I want to devote this time to me. I want to drop some pounds and keep them off.
I have learned about a free aerobics class at a local church I am going to check out. I just need support as I feel alone and stressed right now. But somehow I can do this.

~ BIGGGGGGGGGGGGGG HUGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGSSSSSSSS~ I completely understand how you feel. I am a single mom myself, was unemployed for a bit and for once looked at a "hard knock" as an opportunity instead of something else to keep me down. I just came back to the board as well,, yesterday as a matter of fact. I'd be more than happy to "restart" with you. If you need anything you can email me... oldcountry1@hotmail.com.
