I have always fought the battle of weight from the time I was 12 years old. My weight would go back and forth constantly it seemed. I always listened to what others said to do and did not listen to my body for what it needed.
After Isaac was born I started exercising, eating right and it paid off I was smaller than I had been since before I was 12! I was so excited . Then something unexpected happened . I started gaining weight. I was still exercising and still eating right but I gained 30 pounds in 2 months. I was so discouraged. I went to the doctor and they could not find the cause so I got more discouraged, I fell back into my old habits again and gained another 30 pounds.
Last year I got things a little more under control but I was still listening to others and what they felt would work for me and I maintained the same weight for a year. I was excited but I was not happy still having those 60 pounds on me.
I have decided to go back to what I know works for me. It may not be the same as what is right for others but I am learning that there is no one size fits all when it comes to exercise and dieting.I want to be healthy. If I do not hit that 60 pound down mark i will be happy as long as I know I am exercising and easing right.
Iam putting this all on here as the beginning of my renewed journey in hopes of a little acountability.
hope everyone has a wonderful Monday

I'll keep you in my prayers...I too struggle with weight so I know a little of where you are coming from. I'm heavier than I've ever been right now and I'm renewing a commitment to myself to be a healthier Mom. I'd love to be an accountability buddy with you:) I found a great website that is helping me in many areas. It is www.flylady.net and its FREE. Fly stands for finally loving yourself...that's somthing that has been missing in my life for sure. The habit for this month is fifteen minutes of loving movement...so I've committed to that...as soon as my asthma has cleared a little better anyway. I hope you have a great day today!
