Comment on Motivation what?? by Heather L.

This is the most true post I’ve ever read. I feel the same thing on all counts except I feel scewed out of the possibility of having kids, but it is better I didn’t with all the health problems. If it weren’t for my boyfriend, I would be on the street. I want to call my mom and ask her if she felt this way at my age, but she is gone. And, I’m certain she didn’t because we had a house and she had the money to go see movies, take trips with Dad (also gone) and us and such. I look at my skinny, rich FB friends and trivial problems and feel mad or jealous instead of happy for them sometimes. Then I feel like a terrible person. It is not fun. I wasn’t raised to be this woman, but the floor has fallen out from under me too many times and I’m scared to death half the time. I so hope things improve for you and everyone. I truly think a lot of it is the economy we are having to deal with vs. our parents. Add technology and it adds all this expense. There is no reason to get dolled up when there is no money, and there is no desire to go shopping or something fun when you can’t pay for it anyhow. Guess we just have to hang in there. I know you are a good mom. Don’t doubt that. Thanks for this. I actually needed to know someone else was “there”.

You’re absolutely right – exercise is my next step. I have looked into joining a gym, but unfortunately there are no affordable ones in my area. But I know I don’t need a gym to exercise, I just need to get my motivation going for exercise. I’ll get there soon. I’m already more active (my husband and I are clearing out our lawn which is a lot of raking and shoveling, lol) and I plan on continuing to up the ante so to speak

My revelation was fitness. I have dieted for 30 years – I first joined WW when I was 12 – and have gone up and down (and up and down). My midlife crisis came in the form of running, and now I see that being fit and healthy is more important to my longetivity than simply dieting to look good. You are so right to focus on moderation. That is the difference between a diet and a lifestyle change. Best of luck to you…you are on the right track!

haha – I MUST win at Scrabble. The world might stop turning if I don’t! The kids always want to play with me, but I shy away from it because I can’t not just whoop up on them, lol

Just keep telling yourself it’s easy – that has made the biggest difference for me. I’ve always just looked at it as something that is so hard, but really it’s not. Good luck to you too!!

I think I can personally vouch that the scrabble comment it true. Lots of fights in the apartment over scrabble games. Didn’t we outlaw that once??

And yeah, I do the egg thing too!

Good luck with the weight loss! I am so with you on the diet thing–start/stop, need to lose about 50-60 pounds at least….wish I too could turn the clock back to thinner days
