diet,diet,diet.

I am sooo tired of being overweight. People keep making these little comments...like one lady at church told me a good diet plan she did...she doesn't ever even talk to me,normally,
she said it would be a good one to try.THANKS!Another lady said I should sit up straight because slouching adds 5 pounds.WOW! I am totally sick of being chubby. I really want to lose all these baby pounds... but after 3 pregnancies and never losing the weight in between...it is no longer a few pounds....to be completely honest, it's more like 100 lbs!!!! Just writing that makes me sooooooo mad at myself..how did I ever let it go this far?I am sick of looking like this and I am always tired and I have zero energy... which doesn't work well with 4 children and 2 extras everyday.My house is suffering and so are my kids and husband.I feel so overwhelmed.100 pounds is a TON of weight. It makes me feel like it will never happen.It's to much.Like I will be trying the rest of my life to get rid of it.I have tried so many diets. But if I'm honest with myself Iv'e never stuck to it long enough to see real results. The last one I was doing I lost 6 pounds the first week... you would think that would give me the insentive I need to keep going. Well, then my PMS started and I can't get full. I'm hungry all the time!Why?I feel like since my c-section my whole body acts totally different.I can't figure it out. I need help. But then you run into the problem of $.I want to go to someone to get a plan... tell me what I need to do and I will do it..but most dietitians cost an arm and a leg..well, at least that would take off some poundage huh?:)Anyway, I really just needed to vent and this seemed to be the best way. Writing has always been an nice stress reliever for me.All growing up I wrote my good friend Kerri at least once a week and Rachel almost as often....I think that helped cuz' I could talk about anything with either of them and I did!:)So, I need a plan.. if anyone has a idea, I would be glad to hear it...........Living with "a few extra pounds" is not fun anymore.....Connie

Well, that was a lot of honesty. I'm really glad you shared what is on your heart lately. I don't think that a lot of people would be transparent. I LOVE that about you! You know, Tony has really put a lot of time into studying nutrition. If you need help forming a "plan" send me an e-mail and Tony can put something together for you. And I promise he won't make you eat just fruits and veggies (at least I don't think he would!) He even has a natural supplement that help with appetite suppression to take cravings and stuff away. And its not expensive at all. Anyway -- there would be no pressure to do what he suggests either. But sometimes it is good to get ideas.
