Well I am a mom of 2, My oldest Zoe is 6, youngest Danica is 7 1/2 months. When I had Zoe I was 21, and was back to my original weight of 130lbs when I left the hospital 3 days later. I then spent the next 2 years at 120lbs. I slowly reached 136, then stayed there till my second pregnancy. The second time around I was 26, the pregnancy was normal, I didnt gain massive amounts of weight or anything, but the weight won't leave this time! Its actually getting worse. Now I am 148.5, just a handful of fat away from being considered "overweight" for my body structure. I know what can happen, It's not that I think I am large, and I know that other people have it much worse than I do, but Its what can happen if I dont take care of it now that scares me!

I am scared about all this, my guilty pleasures are so comforting to me that taking them away feels like a child being stripped of their security blanket. I constantly want to put good tasting things in my mouth, and I don't want to go hungry. My husband constantly gorges himself, he cannot go through an evening without a "snack" I ahve actually seen him throw temper tantrums about it. To change the entire family dynamic, everyones eating habits is something Im afraid I cannot accomplish. Without them onboard I cannot succeed.
