Too impatient!!
I’m getting really impatient with losing weight. I know its best to lose slowly, but I am hating being chunky. True I’ve lost almost 20 lbs. within this year, but I still have quite a bit more to lose. I want to be about a size 6, roughly. I’m still between a size 12/14. That’s the frustrating part. I have a really hard time losing weight around my middle so even though I’ve lost so much, I’ve only dropped maybe one pants size.
The hardest part is that I’m by nature a very lazy person, so getting enough exercise is an issue. Also, my hubby loves junk food. That’s a tough one too. Also, since we’re all living off his income right now, our budget can kind of get in the way. Why is it that eating healthy costs so much more than eating crappy junk??? It shouldn’t. I think that would help solve America’s obesity problems right there lol. jk
I think my recent weight loss might be water weight 
I haven’t been eating right or less, and I haven’t been exercising as much as I should either. I haven’t been making the time for myself to go to the gym-or even work out at home…And I’ve been all about junk food ever since we went back home for a visit. All of that needs to change! I REALLY don’t want to gain my weight back!!! I don’t want to be the fat, frumpy mom I’ve been.
I was just starting to feel good about myself again and I like it too much to go back. I still can’t believe I was so big not too long ago. The last time I weighed myself when I was pregnant, I weighed a whopping 210!!!!! Then after he came home I was down to 180 for a while. Now I’m finally below 160, but my goal is at least 135. I’ve been 140-when I got married. I think I looked ok, but I want to be more toned and I think a little thinner too.

Its all up to you! Your hubby should be encouraging you and not bringin that type of food around you(no disrespect) and also you cant lose weight if your lazy hehe! The way I look at it is if you get a loaf of bread a pack of sliced turkey and some lettuce you can make what 6-10 sanwiches for probably the price of one or two fast food meals! Also fast food will slow the weight loss down so much you might as well just give up! If I eat one say McDonalds burger if Im on the run and have nothin I can feel it for up too 3 days just sitting in my system! Just get it figured out, you can do it I know you can!

Will power means alot when everything gets like this. A little encouragement can go a long way, too. It is really easy to just grab a burger on the run, instead of "whipping something up", but it is a major set-back to just take the easy way out sometimes. I have no imagination when it comes to packing my lunch every day, but I found what works for me, and usually pack the exact same thing day in, day out. I probably should be tired of it by now, but on the weekends I usually eat a little different. I try not to get carried away, though. Just find what works for you, and keep things simple. Forget about what everybody else is having, you are the only one that can really take control of what you are doing… and when you reach your goals, pat yourself on the back, and let everybody know that YOU did it while they watched.

Yeah, as far as my hubby, I don’t know whats up with that…but oh well…maybe I just need to be more assertive about it…
we don’t really eat fast food. It upsets my stomach too much. When I was talking about cost…It was mostly about produce. Some of it is so outrageously priced…At least here in AK it is. It might be different in the states.
But yeah, laziness is definitely a big problem, but at least I get some exercise by taking care of 2 kids all day and housework, so I’m not sitting on my ass ALL the time lol. Its a start anyway. Hopefully I’ll get that motivation again. I seem to go through spurts.
Anyway, thanks for your encouragement.
