WANTED: Different body and better attitude
If it were only that easy. Ever since the birth of my second child I havn;t been the same. I'm depressed, frusterated, unmotivated, and tired all the time. I find it very hard to be nice to people and be the talkative bubbly person I once was. Emotional eating has consumed me and the 18 pounds I lost since I first joined are right back on. I can't stomach weighing myself today so I will do so tommarow morning. We are leaving on vacation (not that still having your two very young children with you counts as one) and preparation gets my husband and I alittle stressed so emotions run high right now. At a time when I should be turning from food to soothe me I find my self first of all pre-menstral and second of all craving foods due to stress. All will to get on right path has disappeared with my personality. I feel I AM JUST A FAT NOBODY . . . A HAS-BEEN. I used to be fun. I used to be hot. Now, I'm just another fat, unhappy, house wife. I don't know how to ask for help or even whom to seek help from. All I know is that I miss the old me and am having trouble moving in the right direction.

I can relate...honestly...I am a psychotherapist and it took me a long time to realize that I was depressed and anxious after I had my third child and sooo overwhelmed...so I finally asked my OBGYN for very low dose of antidepressant...it worked so well for me and it helped with get that boost to feel better and start working on my attitude and health...still working on it but feeling better most of the time...good luck and message me if you need someone to talk to..I mean it

I had post stress after my first child and didn't realize it at the time. I would talk to your doctor and see what they say. Eating healthy and exercise will help you a lot. Take small steps and you will get there. Having people to to to also helps.
