I am a wife and mother of 4. This last year has for some reason drastically impacted my weight. Although I am now more active then when I was at a comfortable weight (145lbs 1 yr ago!), my eating habits have changed for the worse. I have became lazy when it comes to cooking and with us in a better finacial situation we seem to eat out waaaaay to much and buy junk food waaaay to often. My biggest trouble consits of the 7-11 that is within walking distance from my house. Their fresh glazed donuts, blueberry muffins, rockstars, pre-packed chocolate donuts, deli-sandwhiches, burritos, fountain drinks, slurpees, fresh baked cookies & brownies, and so on....., and been the cause of my weight gain, or me eating these has been the cause of my weight gain.(50lbs in less than a yr!) Im joining this website to help me count calories, carbs, fats, sugars, protein, everything!!! The whole 9 yards!! Something needs to change! I'm beginning not to like myself, or should I say, not like how I look(I love myself;)of course!) Not only do all my clothes no longer fit, but its hard to find clothes that do lol, guess thats part of being short and frumpy-fat/lumpy... Hopefully this website helps me on my weight loss journey, and possibly find some folks in the same boat as me...its easier to talk to people who can relate/understand what I'm going through. Here's to the beginning of hopefully a successful weight loos journey!!! Hooooraayyy!!!
