Another one joining!
I've had a few ups and downs with my weight, was a bit chunky as a kid, slimmed down as a teenager, then put weight on after finishing uni and getting married. Went to Weight Watchers and got back to my ideal (based on my height) weight, then got pregnant with my first baby (who is 11 in a week) and put on 20kg. Never really lost that 20kg, and gained some more, and after having my 3rd baby I was about 92kg. I joined a boot camp-type group with some other mums when my 3rd was a baby and it was just what I needed, as I'd never exercised before! I lost about 18kg all up and started running.
However food is always the issue for me, I am an overeater, basically because it tastes good and I lack willpower to stop. Also a year ago I started full time work so it is harder to exercise as much as I should plus work and look after 3 kids and shift working husband etc etc. So in the last year I've put back on about 8 kg (I think - too scared to weight myself!)
I've tried doing Weight Watchers again, but mentally I haven't been able to make it work, I got tired of getting to the end of every week feeling like a complete failure after being 'good' all week days then going beserk on the weekends. So I'm really trying to not obsess about it, increase the exercise (running and I have a good Jillian Michaels dvd), and focus on not over eating (usually not successful but I really need to conquer it).
It's really not easy...I feel like my whole life has been spent thinking about or being upset by my weight. It's hard to feel out of control, but all we can do is try I suppose.
