After having my third child, there was just no time or energy left to take care of myself like I should. The baby weight stayed, and then I finally kicked the smoking habit (I always quit while pregnant but went right back to it after delivery). That added another 20 lbs. Before I knew it, I weighed 50 lbs more than I should. I'm tired of being obese. I'm tired of my kids telling me I'm fat. I'm tired of BEING fat. Time to take control of my own destiny and work for it. Just starting out so I'm trying to find what type of diet will work for me.
