New and needs help

mlkile Posts: 2 Joined: 2003/01/13	2003/01/14, 12:30 AM I am new to this diet and weight loss. I was told by my doctor that i needed to lose weight, well the problem is I really want to but I just don't have the motivation to get up and do it. I am the mother of 6 kids and have a spouse that drinks and puts me down, which in turn makes me not want to do anything. Does anyone have any ideas? Please help

Well, she brought the Oxygen magazine to me (it should still be in the shops!). Well okey it was the very first time I read that magazine AND half of it is advertising BUT one specific article really impressed me..... An article about this 33 year old mother of 6 kids being soooo fit and extremely beautiful.... You see? Everybody can do it. We only got one body and one life. Of course you are spending a lot of time and energy for your family but don't forget YOUSELF! Stay with us and we'll try to help you all we can. Good luck!! -------------- - Nina :o) Les Victoires éternelles sont celles du coeur.

Keep your chin up, exercise watch your diet and get out a run and play with those kids. If you start to exercise and watch your diet you will feel better and be able to keep up with your kids better. What a thrill it is to me to be able at 43 to outrun my kids because I made a lifestlye change that was for the better. -------------- I will lift my own weight someday!!!!!
