Fat Mama to M.I.L.F. - hopefully

Want to thank Mom o Matic for the impetus/inspiration to get off my butt and start a weight loss program and a blog. I have been meaning to do both for quite some time now - but I have so many excuses to justify my laziness and apathy.

I was one of those children/teenagers who was painfully thin, lanky with no curves, breasts, butt or even calves - at a time when waif like and anorexic looking was DEFINITELY NOT the way to go. So I spent so many of those years trying to put on weight, trying to make myself look curvy and always bemoaning my lot in life. In my VERY early 20's I weighed around 105-110lbs and I'm 5ft 7 inches.

Then without really paying attention - I started gaining weight, without trying (from around 23). Now I am a 30 year old mother of 3 and I am more than 40lbs heavier than I was in the begining of this decade - shame prevents me from saying just how much more. I can't blame the kids - I have twins, but right after having them, I went back to within 5lbs of my pre-pregnancy weight and in my second pregnancy I gained about 20lbs.

I put on the weight before my first pregnancy and in the months BEFORE I got pregnant again. I have no self control and I never stick to things. I drink too much tea/coffee with too many sugars, bread I love, pasta -yum yum... I have joined gyms and gone like once or twice and then quit. Had loads of exercise equipment parked up.

I want to lose weight to be healthy and feel good about myself. I also want to have energy to play with my kids and set a good example for them* . And well I would love to be a M.I.L.F.

Good luck to you all.

(I could so easily be this Mama - proabably am already and in denial)
