You Can Do It!

Quote From: danielsmom07

Back during the first time the UWLC happened, I lost over 75 pounds and was doing great. Unfortunately, I had some personal things happen and I blew it. I now have even more weight to lose than last time - I have never been this heavy, but its taking a toll on me. I have been miserable and wanting some support, feeling like I can't do this alone this time. When I saw that this was starting again, I was in tears. I so hope the support groups start up again like last time - they were so instrumental in my maintaining a focus. I started eating the way I should yesterday and know it will work again, and this time for good - I now have a son to look after and want nothing more than to be able to get on the floor and play with him, which right now, it breaks my heart that I can't. This is for him, and it will happen!

Tiffany from Team Green is in the same boat, so please know that you can do it again! Like you said..this time it will be for good! Know that everyone wants you to be happy and healthy...do it for yourself and for your son!

 

 

Good Luck!

I know exactly how you are feeling about not being able to play with your son on the floor. Phil and I have 2 little girls, under the age of 5, and it was a daily struggle for me just to go outside and play in the yard with them. I can honestly say that this experience has changed my life and put me on the road to my own personal success. There will always be days that feel like you aren't able to go along with the program, but one thing we both have to remember is that we are the direct role model to our children and we need to stay positive for them and for ourself. Please stay strong and keep up the good work and know that you have this message board and online friends to hold you accountable. Best Wishes!
