I'm getting fat!

[kristinas8]

 I've been thin my whole life and as a teen actually tried to put ON weight. I'm having my 7th child and I knew my weight had crept up a little here and a little there throughout the years, but I've not really taken a close look at my body till today. My butt looks like cottage cheese! What's worse, my dh has been working out and lost a lot of weight and looks absolutely fabulous, trim and cut. I just feel that much more horrible! I know I use food as a comfort because as soon as I looked at my butt in the mirror my next thought after disgust was I want chocolate!

How can I overcome this addiction?

Hi Kristina,

I thought that I was reading my story when I read this little blog.  I was fairly thin my whole life and while I've only had three children, I'm the fattest ever!!!  I have been working out a little after all the kids go to bed and it has helped with my fierce appetite and cravings to munch all the time.  I have been doing an hour (close to impossible to get in an hour all the time) of exersice as long as I'm being consistent I have lost a little bit of weight.  a little is better than nothing.  When I see the scale go down, I'm more motivated to eat a little healthier and to pass on my chocolate cravings.  I'll be 37 this May so getting thinner has been harder than it used to be but I feel confident that slowly I will loose  my cheese thighs and squishy gut.  Just start with one day at a time, one workout at a time.  It's hard but It feels good when you feel your muscles working.
