Military housewife and Mom to 2 beautiful boys. I live in a city by the beach but I'm a country girl, born and raised! I do what I want as long as it doesn't hurt anyone else. That's always been my rule of thumb. I've realized that being overweight doesn't hurt just me but it hurts my family. I want my kids to have a mother and my husband to have a wife for as long a possible. I want to be someone they can be proud of and someone to look up to as a good example. I know for a fact the "do as I say, not as I do" style of parenting does NOT work. I feel I'm a great Mom. I do all I can for my family EXCEPT be a good example of healthy eating. They deserve better and I deserve better! I think the Atkins way of eating will be easier for me because I live with guys who eat like guys :) Wish me luck!
