Hello,
I'm new to the boards and just wanted to make an introduction. I'm here for motivation I believe more than anything and to provide support for others. I'm a single mother and sadly I'm obese. I know how to lose weight and what works for me, I love eating right and working out but I also have my over eating ways and a sedentary lifestyle that has contributed to my weight problem.
My daughter is my biggest motivation to become healthy and stay healthy. When I had her I lost 50 pounds having this motivation to be healthy for her. I went back to work at my desk job and started mindlessly snacking and sitting all day and have yet to lose anymore
Now she is 15 months old and runs all over the place. I want my daughter to have a mother who can keep up with her, who can go down the slide with her and play with her without needing to sit down all the time.
My daughter herself has wonderful eating habits, she has a very balanced diet and gets plenty of outside playtime. I just know if I don't do something now, I'm going to be providing her with a lifestyle that has made me so unhappy.
I'm starting to see the health problems slowly creep up on me as well. My sugar has been higher than normal, I'm not diabetic but I'm sure it's something inevitable and HBP runs in my family.
I think my biggest hurdle with weight loss, is if I slip up one day, I just quit doing it then, I never play through the pain and keep going. Once it gets "hard" I just stop.
Anyways, a nice ramble from me and it will be nice to get to know everyone.
I was going to the WW boards for support but it's becoming such a snarkey place I only find myself cringing when I post because I know someone is going to come along and say something inconsiderate eventually.
