I am 26 and a stay at home mom with an 8 mo old baby. I am used to being very busy with school or work. I went to college and worked anywhere from 1-3 jobs the whole time, then I got a job teaching and loved it! Now I hardly do anything. My house is clean and my baby is well taken care of, but beyond that, I don’t do much at all. I don’t know anyone where I live because we moved to a new place last July and so I hardly ever leave the house. My hubby is looking for a new job, so we are most likely about to move again.

I’ve been overweight for as long as I can remember, but never sedintary like I am now. I know all about eating right and exercising. I know about popular diets. In college I did Atkins for a year and lost a lot of weight but had to quit for my health. I am 5’1 and weigh 220 lb. Before baby I was 175 lbs. I eat pretty healthy. I know I am terribly overweight and i need exercise, but I can’t get motivated for the life of me. I don’t know what to do anymore. PLEASE HELP ME
Working outside the home is not an option unless i can have my baby with me. My husband and I made a commitment even before we were married that one of us would always be home with our children. I plan on sticking to that because i think it is VERY important!!

My question again was about popular diets and there have been some great answers

Have you tried to diet while still cooking for your spouse and kids? Any Tips?

I’m doing the South Beach diet, all is going well so far and I like it…the only thing is I have a husband and 2 boys who are not big fans of spinach omelets and turkey burgers. (imagine that!) I still have to make stuff for them, like last night we had bananas and pumpkin puree that needed to be used or thrown out, so I made them a really good bread (which I did not eat!) and tonight they want spaghetti, which is my favorite, and not unhealthy, but not part of my diet. Hubby offered to do the cooking, but it still sucks, I’ll eat bean sprouts or something equally wonderful while they have spaghetti and garlic bread.
Has anyone else done this? Any suggestions?
