Diary of a fat mamma!

So I have decided to start my own weightloss diary. Yep, I am trying to keep myself honest. I dont really have all that much help when it comes to losing weight. My husband wont exercise with me... he's too cool for that I guess. (even though he has more weight than me to lose! HA!) Lets see, where do I begin? I am 23 years old, I have two children. My son Bobby is 3 years old, and my daughter Makenzie is 12 weeks... both are adorable as hell, but they are a handfull. I dont see how people can have more than 2 kids. I thought it was going to be a peice of cake for me, but ohhhh no it was a complete life change. But I am embracing it, I love them! They are the reasons why I am losing this weight. I want to be able to keep up with them, and not have them embarrassed of me when they get older. I know if I dont start a healthy lifestyle now that it will only get worse. As of right now with my height and weight I am considered obese, what a word, obese. Scary, I never thought I would get that way, but I am giving myself some leeway considering I just had a child.

I used to be so thin, then I got pregnant with my first child and realised I could EAT! What a new concept! So I did exactly what doctors tell you not to do. I sat on my A** and ate cheeseburgers. By the time my second pregnancy rolled around I was so unhealthy that I gave myself gestational diabetes and endangered the life of my babygirl by having her 5 weeks early. I will never do that again. My hubs and I want one more child and that will be in 5 years. I want to be fit and healthy for that pregnancy.

My hubs is in the Air Force and he was told by his commanding officers to lose weight, he failed his PT exam... now he has to take fitness improvement classes. So he doesnt exercise with me. I have to do it all on my own. He doesnt like veggies so he wont diet... yeah a lot thats going to do... I have tried telling him that he needs to eat healthier if he wants to get fit, but he wont listen. So I am going to have to watch him fail so that way he can learn the hard way I guess. I started working out a week ago. I have lost 4 pounds so far. We will see how many more in the next couple of weeks. I think most of that 4 pounds was just water weight though. But I am still happy, that just makes me that much closer to wearing REAL JEANS again! Ohhh I cant weight LOL yes pun intended. I am still wearing my maternity jeans because I dont like the way I have a muffin top with reg ones right now. I will not have a muffin top! LOL

My hubby and I made a bet to see who could lose the most weight by Jan 1st. I WILL win this! My prize would be a day at the spa! Ohhh I cant wait. I am determined to be at least 15 pounds lighter by the New Year, if not more. I want to do this the healthy way, but I have enlisted the help of diet pills. NV to be exact. It is supposed to be a beauty pill as well. BUt I dont take the recomended dosage, I take less. It is supposed to be 2 pills a day and I only take one.

So anywho I have to go for now, I just wanted to tell you all about me. If you have any questions just ask. I will keep you all updated on my progress, and I am sure I will have plenty of questions along the way. Especially about exercises considering I am a total ditz when it comes to going to the GYM and I get self consious, I am afraid to do anything besides the elliptical machine and the treadmill... because all the other machines look sooooo complicated and I dont want to look like a fool infront of a hundred strangers.
See ya!
