I am 25 yrs old. i am married
and have three kids(6-girl,5-girl,2-son). They keep me busy but not busy
enough to lose the weight i want to. I am 5'9 and weigh 235 pounds which i
am not happy with at all. i have been with my hubby for 8 yrs now and when we
first meet i wear a 14 and now i wear a 18w. I have went behind his back and
hid food to eat and then when he leaves or not around i eat it. I didnt realize before that i was doing this. Finally i decided five days ago that i
have to change my life or i will never be happy. So i started to watch what i ate low cal/low fat. I walk at least four miles a day which i have been doing
for a year now and it didnt seem to be helping so i started to work out to a
Jane Fonda tape that i had on top of the walking. I will be weighing myself
Wednesday (that will be one week) and i am hoping that i have lost some
weight. I drink anywhere between one and two gallons of water a day. I used to
drink nothing much sprite all day and now only have one glass a day. I want
to lose this weight and i will. I have faith in myself. I want to lose 25 pounds by the first of December.
Well today has been up and down. Started out the morning with a glass of
coffee and getting my girls ready for school. When I came home my hubby was
still sleeping and my son wanted to go for a walk so I took him. I lethim
tell me where he wanted to walk around the neighborhood and we ended upbe
gone from 8:42a.m - 9:26a.m. Felt good walking and spending some timewith
my son out side. We played a guessing game as we walked so i didntrealize we
were gone that long. I came home and had a smoothie and then woke hubbyup.
Once he was up I did thirty mins of my Jane Fonda tape, better then Ihave
ever done yet by 10 mins. At lunch time I made a snadwhich for my sonand had
one myself. Not what i usually eat but i havent been eatting much breadso i
decided to treat myself. I have been craving sweets all day but so farso
good. Had 64 ounces of water so far and still going. Going to make aheathy
dinner and have lots of vegs. If I get hungry tonight I will be havingsome
fruit hopefully that will help with the sugar crave. Tomorrow morningis my
week weigh in and I am hoping to have lost weight. I will writetomorrow to
let you know. Sorry so long just needed to talk to someone so I didnt have
sweets.
