Well, here I am. I am 28 years old, an Army Wife and mother of 3 children ages 2-5. Before when I wanted to lose weight, I cut out the junkfood and the weight literally fell off. I was in a size 5 within 4 months of having my second baby. However, after my third child, my luck changed. My highest weight was 210 pounds after I had my 3rd baby... 100 pounds heavier then when I married my husband. Poor guy. I don't want to get down to 110 again though... I was anorexic, bullimic and my husband used to tell me I was "too skinny" and that he likes a woman with "a little meat." Woo Hoo!! Lucky for me!! 
... So my goal is 140 pounds. I am currently 190.
I want to lose weight because I hate the way I look and feel. I hate going shopping for clothes since I wear a size 16/18. We are military and I sometimes don't want to go home to visit family because I'm embarrassed by how I look and don't want to go back looking the same as I did before. I want to go home and hear "Wow! You look so great!!"... that has yet to happen. I turn down invitations to go out with my friends because I feel so gross next to them. My friend asked me to go to Ladies Night tonight... I said no... she is a size 0. Enough said.
Enough of the pity party. It's time to take action!! My current trend is that I lose weight, gain it back... lose, gain it back... it's a continuous battle. I drink alot of pop and I know that needs to change. I'm an emotional eater. I get stressed out with my children and binge on something... then I figure "what the heck" I've already ruined it for the day... might as well keep eating now. "I'll start tomorrow" is my motto. Then farther into the week it becomes "I'll start Monday." Unfortunately, neither ever comes.
With that said, I WILL start tomorrow. For real this time. I've seriously ruined it for today and it's already after 5 pm... so tomorrow morning, it is. Any suggestions would be welcome.
