cannot stand it any longer! I have gained some weight, I would say in the last year about 15 pounds. All that 15 pounds are in my belly. I have a pot belly and there is nothing sexy about it. I look about 5 months pregnant. I know on Easter my Brother-in-law asked me if I was pregnant and was insistent ant on it. I was so embarrassed and hurt. I have had an bladder infection for the last 4 months so I was not allowed to do any exercise, to be honest I have been in so much pain that I could not.

Well last week I went out to by some cloths because nothing I have fits and I am going on vacation. I did find shorts and some cute pants, nothing great for the shirts, I tried it on tonight NOTHING FITS me. I could not believe it, I know I am supposed to get my period next week but this is crazy. I am so embarrassed of what I become and I hate looking at myself. It seems that I cannot seems to stick to a diet. And being sick for the last 4 months has not helped me get motivated it has just mad me depressed.
I guess a couple of days on the beach and being embarrassed with motivate me.
Well thanks for listening

OMG 15 pounds is nothing sweetie!! I got on medication for depression and bipolar syndrome and it made me gain over 50 pounds in a year. It's hard on my body and I am working to get those pounds off but it's hard to not feel bad when I look in the mirror. Just keep at it and make good habits. Also, take pics of your progress, you can really see the difference that way!

*hugs*

look up my post on "how to lose the fat after the baby"

If you just do those three things, it will help!!!

I had ten babies and gained 50-75 lbs each but I always lost it.

email or message me if you can't find my post and I'll find it for you ;)

Jun. 17, 2007 at 12:19 AM I hear you, I've gained 100lbs since having my 1st child 8 yrs. ago. At-least you would exercise if not for the pain, I can't even find motivation. ( ya think being that overweight would be enough) It's hard to  exercise with three kids and no time to yourself

before i knew i was sick i lost 53 pounds in less then a month - I didnt know HOW or WHY - but i sure in the hell wasn't complaining about it - I've tried everything in the past to lose wieght and NOTHING worked

well when i went to the hospital THINKING i had the flu and they rushed me into a differnt hospital because i had a over active thyroid plus its enlarged, a hole in my heart and a enlarged heart valve, after bieng tested for quit a few hours, They finally came an explained alot of stuff to me AND one was I've lost ALL the weight and lost it fast because i went from having a slow thyroid (metbalism) to EXTREAMLY FAST ( they told my dad if i would of waited a day or 2 more to go to the hospital some one would of found me DEAD - and it would of been my kids)

well I got into specialists for my thyroid, I've taken 2 differnt doses of a  radio active iodine pill one was in Apirl 06 the next one was october 06 both at the start of the months, by the 2nd week of october 06 that ENTIRE 53 pounds I'd lost back in 2004 HAD CAME BACK from NO WHERE - I havent changed how i eat, or what i eat, or how often i eat, I still only eat once maybe twice a day like i have since i was 16

I'm not allowed to use any diet aids at all NOT even the ones made specially for people with thyroid problems, AND my thyroid specialsists told me NOT to change how i eat or anything else, because it could mess my thyroid up even worse then it already is

so i'm shit out of luck untill they tell me other wise, I'm not allowed to do any diets what so ever, or take diet pills, or anything else

I've been over wieght for as long as i can remember, When i got pregnant with my daughter i gained 90 pnds in the 9 months - I had alot of problems when i was pregnant with her, I withheld alot of water, i had extreamly high blood pressure, I had pregnancy diabities,I had alot of stuff wrong with me , but NO one ever told me about my thyroid or heart problems NIETHER time i was pregnant, or even before i was ever pregnant and went to see doctors

Its not a health issue found in alot of younger people the way the doctor explained it to me is my disease ( GRAVES DISEASE) is NORMALLY Only FOUND IN EDERLY PEOPLE 65 and OLDER! I was only 28 when i was diagonesed and was told a hundread times a day the entire 2 weeks i was in the hospital by differnt doctors and nurses " oh honey your too young to have all these problems" LIKE THAT MADE ME FEEL ANY BETTER

IF diets honestly DONT WORK, GO get your thyroid checked, NORMAL DAILY housework burns calories, Playing with your kids BURNS calories, SEX burns calories, KISSING actually burns calories  if your doing alot of activities ( and i dont mean old fashioned exercises) and no weight is comming off, there is most likely a under lined problem talk to a doctor, even have them referr you to a dietifcian

if you "cant find time" to exercise, Have your kids join in - make a game out of it, that way they're staying fit and healthy right along with you

my kids do exercise every single day, my daughter (9 yrs old) does 10 sets of every exercise and she does each thing 25xs , My son(7 yrs old) does 15 of every thing except sit ups thats 30 and he does 10 sets of each thing

they do

Sit ups, Laydown toe touches (they lay flat on the floor and sit up and reach to thier toes), Toe touches, jumping jacks, and push ups Every single day - and I can tell SO much by thier older pictures that they've lost weight and they were both over wieght when i moved here in 05 my daughter was 8 almost 5 foot tall but wieghed 140 last doctors visit was about 8-9 months ago, she was excattly 5 ft tall and was down to 119 YES she's still over wieght for her age, But she's working daily to get to a healthy weight for her age, hieght and build

and they're looking darn good :-)
