You go, Girl!

Quote From: robinsoncircus

Hello,  I am a 38-year old mom and I am tired of being fat. I have five children from ages 7 to 18 and I am earning a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Sciences. I have been married for almost 20 years. I should feel fulfilled because I am proud of these accomplishments. I know that my negative feelings revolve around my weight. I feel like a real failure. In addition, I have had Multiple Sclerosis for about 10 years and have real issues with energy levels and muscle loss. I really feel trapped. I hope and pray that this program can kickstart me into a positive change. I sat and cried during the show that introduced the weight-loss race teams today. I do think that I am ready to take these important steps.

Anyone who may have some encouraging words or advice that might help me stay motivated--please--I need some real support in this. Thanks!

This is your time, kiddo. One step at a time, one little tiny chnage at a time. Be kind to yourself, treat yourself with love and encouragement like you would treat your children.  You are a precious child of God and you are doing this for yourself, your children, and to make a better healthier life for you all.  Forgive your mistakes and missteps and persevere.  You can do it!

 I am currently earning my degree in Elementry Science, how wonderful for you that you have that accomplishment.  The dedication and faith that it take to earn a degree of this nature can be used for us in our weight loss journey's as well.  I look forward to a support system to wlk me through this process, and I am willing to be a leaning post for fellow weight loosers.  Feel free to contact me any time.  God bless, we can do this!!
