I'm a stay at home mom with a precious 2 year old son and a sweet hubby. Most of my life I've been a couple pounds more than I'd like to be, but basically at a good weight. I put on weight during pregnancy. 6 weeks after having my son I was 20 lbs overweight. 2 years after staying at home, eating junk and not exercising, I'm another 20 lbs overweight on top of that. With 40 lbs to lose, I'm looking at re-entering the job force and want to get my body back! I'd also like to be fit enough to keep up with my little wild man toddler and look hot again for the hubs! :0)
I've decided that since my biggest problem is the whole "if nobody sees me eat it, it doesn't count" syndrome, I'm going to put a big focus on accountability. I'm creating my own "Facebook diet" where I go public with my diet and exercise goals and periodically update my friends on my progress. I need a cheering section and the added motivation of knowing that if I don't lose the weight and get in shape, people will know I failed! It's one thing for them to know I'm fat, but it's another for them to know I tried and failed...
