Hi everyone. I am normally a pretty happy person but lately I have gained a lot of weight and can't seem to get motivated to loss it. about 2 years ago i decided i am huge and have to do something about it. So I ate better and walked 2 miles a day and went to the gym 5 days a week for strength training. I lost 70 pounds and was feeling pretty good.
I have packed back on 40 of those pounds and I feel horible. I don't excercise much anymore my neighbor that I walked with moved and my dog had surgery so I got lazy.
Now i am at the end of my rope if I don't do something now I will have to buy bigger clothes and I gave them all away when I lost the weight so I wouldn't get back in them.

I am a mom to a 15 year old boy (16 May 1) I run an in home daycare so I care for and teach 5 children ages 9 months, 18 months, 2,3,4,and 5years old. I have 2 dogs and husband that should be joining this forum too, but he won't and I don't think he cares about his weight.

I swear i am not usually this negotive i am just down about my weight these days.
 
Welcome Cindyj

I just wanted to welcome you. I understand how hard it is to get motivated. You have come to the right spot for support. I hear you about the daycare. I worked in a daycare for 2 years as a head teacher. It was really hard because of the amount of food that was always around. But you can do this!
Have a good day!

getting started today

Okay so I woke up ready to take on the world.

I had a healthy breakfast and plan to hit my treadmill when the kids go down for nap.
 
Thanks every one. I am felling pretty positive today. I made some green beans to snack on while I made the kids lunch; instead of the cheese I would normally eat (they had grilled cheese sandwiches, green beans, and carots for lunch) O put the carots in a container on top of the bread sticks with cinnamon and sugar they are having so that I can pick at them while i make thier snack this afternoon.

Funny what you can trip yourself into when you need too.
 
Welcome! Keep your eye on the goal and work through that visualization on how great you'll feel when you've lost the weight :). I'm here to support and help!
