Hi all! I have come for all your help!! Here's my story and I'm stickin' to it!
(pardon me ahead of time if this is a bit out there and doesn't make since- I've had a really rough night!)
I was once 135 or so after Herbalife. Then the cash ran out- and in came anti-anxiety meds and 100 plus pounds in three years along with those! I recently had a second baby boy- in Sept- had Gestational Diabetes (which I believe was a gift from God since I gained over 70lbs with my first ten years ago!) and only gained about 20lbs or so. January came and I set my goal to get with WW again and get this weight off. This time around it's not just physical appearance motivating me- it's the desire to have another child (maybe) and NOT have GD again- as well as not develop diabetes later in life.
I am a member of the Oct 2004 playgroup and have run a WW support thread there since about Feb or so but it has slowed down a lot and I'm the one in need of some serious support and help! I have completely falling off the wagon and gotten in such a funk! The thing that upsets me about it all- I KNOW WW works for me- I KNOW how to do it- I KNOW all there is to know about losing it and keeping it off, I feel awesome when I exercise and eat right.... so what's stopping me???? NO IDEA! I have zero excuse! I am a SAHM of a ten year old DS and a 9 month old DS. We walk... some times.... I do keep fairly busy around the house and on weekends work my rear off at the family cabin. I don't think I over eat ALL the time- I just have stopped journaling, stopped watching what I eat, and stopped caring basically. I HATE the way I look although I could careless what others think! Oh I should mention that I have a DH of whom needs to lose about the same as I do and if he could live off of eating a whole pizza every night he would because he could care less about his health. I DO NOT keep junk food in the house at all because I know myself too well- as well as trying to save DH's life a little.
My stats- 5'4" and as of this morning 247 I think. I have come down from 263 since January- which I consider my starting weight.
So here I am. I am really hoping to join forces with those who have the same struggles as I do. I cannot do it alone even though I'd like to think I can....
