(poster removed)
This 'poster' says it all for me. I've had it. This is NOT a good weight for me. And i don't come from good genes! I currently weigh 196, which makes me want to vomit, I'm only 5'3ish. 2.5 years ago i was 150, but that came from my husband walking out.
But now, i don't feel good. It scares me that I get headaches all the time(like my mom). It scares me the heavy feeling I get in my chest. I hate that I've been mistaken for pregnant. I hate how awful i feel all the frickin time, with no energy either! I want to find a GOOD MOOD!
AND....my daughter will be 12 this year, and this scares me because my mom got sick when i was 12 and never recovered and i might as well have grown up without a mom(yes it was like that, i had no one)...and well I don't want to be useless for my daughters!
Yeah, i know..a resolution post..*eye roll*..but I've had enough. Please help me/encourage me/ hug me/slap that cupcake outta my hand. please.

Ok girl - you can do this!
I've written a post today about trying to get healthier.....you should read it....http://www.multitestingmommy.com/2012/01/lets-get-healthy-together-week-1-with.html
We can motivate each other!
Also - I've been mistaken for being preggers many times and it hurts so much! I also get constant headaches and regular migraines - no fun!
You sound like you want to change things and with good support and a bit of motivation, I KNOW you can do it - I'm struggling thru this right now, but I've started and I already love myself more....join me darling! Join me!
I keep reading all these health posts as of the last week and wonder if we should come together as a group to encourage each other to strive for great health be it eating healthier or exercise or both we can all do it!
now on that note - I weighed myself today and hate myself as I gained 7 lbs in less than 2 months! YIKES slap that cupcake out of my hand also please!!
Oh, Christy....I think you are great just the way you are, but I can understand wanting to loose some weight. I was just weighed at the Dr in December and was shocked to hear the number. So, I am right there with you. Good luck on your journey.
Sorry you're feeling down, but I'm glad if you're able to turn it into motivation to get the results you want. Seems like many Canadian bloggers are on a health kick, I think there's lots of support out there for you which is superb!
My friends IRL are all on health-kicks as well... there's something going around right now...ah, New Years...but hopefully this will stick for everyone if they help motivate one another! YOU CAN DO IT!
ok, I will throw in another YOU CAN DO IT!
But I will also throw in a - you are beautiful just the way you are! And a wonderful quote from "The Help"
“You is kind. You is smart. You is important.”
And all that good stuff inside will help you become who you want to be on the outside too :)
Take one day at a time! don't worry about yesterday, just manage today.
One thing that helps me, is removing the snacking foods from the house and since I HATE to exercise but love to shop. I go to the mall and walk around and around and around. with no wallet! just window shopping... it's more like moving. just keep moving. you can do it.
A few years ago, I went to visit my mom for Mothers Day. The first thing she said when she saw me was NOT I'm glad to see you neither did she give me a big hug. She said, as only my mom can, "My you've gotten weighty haven't you" I was horrified. Near tears. When I got home I was determined. In 18 months I lost 35lbs. On my own. You can too! One day at a time. Put a picture on the fridge. Write a note to yourself on why you're doing this and put it on the pantry. Cut portions down to what you're comfortable with. Keep telling yourself that you and your daughter are worth it!
I totally relate!! I hope that you can find something that gets you and keeps you motivated. It really is amazing how exercise rejuvenates you! Did you Join biggest loser on LM?
I feel exactly the same way and have begun a feature on my blog for us all to link up to stay motivated, it's Motivated Mondays. There's a button on the sidebar..here's the link:

I know all to well how you feel. Hugs
Come and join us at Pilates Monday nights. It is not hard just fun. We do what we can and laugh a lot. It is a start. We all support you and believe in you. When you are ready come join us. Also I do the YMCA near you a couple times a week because I exercise to maintain health and energy. Literally I can't keep up with my really active kids if I don't. So I have to. No choice.
Find what works for you! Seems to be the thing right now - feeling this way. I just blogged about it and then saw it on Multitesting mommy's blog. So join us in being good to yourself! The key, I think, is figuring out what floats your boat. Do you like to exercise? If not, you need something fun or at least enjoyable - maybe a yoga video/class or bellydancing or ??? instead of pushing yourself into a gym you hate. Walk with a buddy and visit while you work out.
and for the lifestyle change to be complete - how do you eat. I love weight watchers, but one has to choose what makes one motivated. Maybe it's atkins or southbeach or WW online, Spark people or ??? Research it and find something that leaves you satisfied. it's not a diet, a temporary thing until you reach a goal - love yourself enough to make it permanent - something you do because it works so well for your life.
Good for you for saying you want to change, to be there for your daughter and especially for yourself. You have to be number one in your world to take care of everyone else. you can do it!
Aww darling girl. You are on the right path. You can do this. Take baby steps and you will get there. You are beautiful and it will happen. Resolutions are not a bad thing. Focus on a goal, break it down. How much weight would you like to lose this year? break it down into three months and work from there. You can do it and there are so many of us to cheer you on!
