Hello everyone,
I am new here and looking for support. I am 28 yo mom of 2 girls, 4&6. I gained 100 lbs from the time I met my husband to the birth of my second child. I am not sure of my exact highest weight, as I stopped weighing myself after 250. I have managed to lose some but still have a way to go. I am a RN who works night shift and snacks all night long. I used to use the excuse of being tired to keep from working out but have recently committed myself to working out 5 days a week. I have also vowed to eat healthier at work because, honestly, I don't need chocolate to keep me awake at night. Tea works too. I have created 3 starter goals for myself: work out 5 days/week, eat healthier at work, and not to beat myself up over my appearance or occasional slip-ups. I really feel that I have wasted much of my 20s obsessing over my weight and not doing enough about it. It has led to me being cranky and moody and affects everyone in my life, including my girls. I really want them to grow up without thinking about weight or body image, and with naturally eating healthy and enjoying physical activity. I guess that starts now...
Looking forward to getting to know you all,
Chrissy
