so here I am, I somehow stumbled across this site, and have read so many people's blogs. Its so nice to see that there are lots of people in the same boat!
I am 24 years old, a mother of 2 and struggle to find the time for myself. At the beginning of 2011, I got really motivated and told my husband that I was going to start buying "healthier" foods, and have surprisingly, stuck to that. Most meals have either been entirely different than before, or I have tweeked it just a little, to make it better for us.
I struggled in high school with my weight, and when I graduated, I was in the best shape of my life. After 2 babies, and lots of stress, here I am. I am a tall woman, and most people would not consider me fat. I dont consider myself fat, but I do know that I need to lose about 30 lbs. I miss the confidence, the ease of wearing what I want to. The ability to go to the lake and be in a bikini without a COVERUP!
I cut out pop(soda) for 3 weeks, in December and lost 10 lbs. Then with the holidays, I indulged and got back in the habit. That 10 lbs has welcomed itself back. So, I have now been "pop free" for over 24 hours, I know that it sounds like im dealing with a drug addiction, but to me thats exactly what it is. a dependency.
Ate healthy today, and plan to continue! looking forward to making friends here and making this time, the time it works!
