Yes, You guessed it.. fell off the wagon. Not jumped off the wagon and ate myself into oblivion- but balance in my life is way off kilter. I have not gone to the gym. I have done very little exercise. I have made MOSTLY good food choices. I am feeling bit crummy about myself. My sex life has really petered out since last baby. It could also be weight gain. I was very heavy ( 275) when husband met me but I feel really big now. I am quite tall- 5′ 10″ and weight is pretty evenly distributed- but being heavy and feeling “ugly” is new phenomenon to me- and it has impacted my intimate life- lacking confidence I suppose.
After holiday weekend will go to gym. I do some consulting work at home and I am behind so every free minute I am trying to work.

Hi Linda!
First of all don’t get discouraged. You didn’t gain the weight overnight, so you can’t expect to lose it all in a month. A healthy weight loss is about 1 pound per week.
So instead of getting on the scale everyday, start with buying a pair of pants 1 size too small. Hang them up where you can always see them. This will always remind you of what you are trying to achieve…a smaller, more healthier you!
I am also encouraging you to visit my blog, 101 Reasons Why You Can’t… As a fitness professional, I’ve heard all of the reasons why people fall off the fitness wagon. My blog is meant to inspire you and keep you on the wagon.
I would also encourage you to visit my husband’s blog, STOP WORKING OUT! It will provide you with daily motivation about training and alternative forms of exercise.
Keep up the great work!
