Time to do something

Hi, here is my story. I have four kids. Right before the first pregnancy I weighed 105lbs. After the fourth, eight years later I weigh 205lbs. I dress in rags, i hate everything about how I look, I have no sexual relationship with my sig. other. I am so tired of not having any clothes I like, sqeezing into everyhing, and daydreaming about how I use to be. Well I have decided that it is time to stop procrastinating, stop making excusses, and do it. I need the support of others who understand. I feel so dissapointed in myself because i know what I need to do to fix my problem, i know that it CAN be fixed, I know that I will be happier and healtheir if I was fit, yet I dont do it. i am a closet eater, i am constantly thinking about food, and how I can sneek off with a donut or some other junk. I eat not because i have such an appetite but for entertainment(I have 4 kids) and because I like it, and because it is redily available to me. I want to shopp healthier, surround myself with only healthy food, but i AM A LOW INCOME FAMILY and a big big big family so for us cheep is the only way to go. And also it is not fair of me to make my family diet because I am fat. i am approching my problem with simple common since, no special diet. water is better then pop, stick to serving sizes, eat everything in moderation, use lite salts and margerine when i cook, ect... Still, this is where hopefully some new friends will come into the picture, to help keep me on top of my goals, and encourage me, support me, believe in me. I am so misserable. I pray I can do this.
 
Welcome Tomephotos. This site is full of wonderful people with great support. I see that the diary section is always hopping if you are interested in that. I read here daily, but don't always post not having enough time. I hear you with the post pregnancy weight challenges. After my 5th child, who is 6, I never got back into shape and it just got worse as the years pass. Good luck!

Wanted to add that I understand your food cost idea, but actually healthier is cheaper. Teaching your children good habits will pay off for them for their whole lives and make them healthier. Think about brown rice, frozen vegetables, brown pasta and many other things I can't think of right now.
