I am just starting my weight loss journey and am already having a hard time staying motivated. I'm coming up on 300 pounds faster than I coule have ever imagined and I am ashamed of myself for letting my weight get so out of control, especially considering how short I am. I have two kids and a husbamd at home and I want to be around for them as long as I cam be. I put this plan in place...eat healthier, exercise and I make a weekly meal plan for myself, but i have a hard time sticking to it. And I have an even harder time sticking to my exercise plan. My husband tries to understand, but I know he really doesn't- atleast not the way I need him to. He doesn't struggle with his weight and being prior military, he has a stronger exercise ethic than I do. I just need someone to talk to and motivate each other. Someone who understands the struggle, whether theyre going through it now or have gone through it recently. Just a message in the morning saying lets get up and do this. Make today a better day than yesterday is all I need. Someone to ask if Ive stuck to my diet and done my exercise. I cant keep going backwards. I have to start moving forward and become a healthier person for myself and my family.

I'm horrified! I knew my insurance would go up due to getting a new car but I didn't expect it to go up over $2,000. I did have an accident with the snow/ice in the winter. I was just telling my brother that I have had my car since March 2, 2026 and have only spent $75 on an oil change. Now this! I called another insurance company and their quote was over $4,000. I guess I have to pay...

We all have 24 hours in a day. How we spend these hours is important. Watching a little bit of a video about how sitting affects us made me aware of how much sitting and laying down I do. Gonna have to work on that.Your turn. Tell me another truth.
It sounds like you are off to a great start! If you have a bad day and mess up, dont let it discourage you. It takes time to change a behavior, try not to be so hard on yourself. Just keep going like you never messed up! I commend you for reaching out for help on here! Have you tried counseling, weight loss classes, or anything to help with your weight loss journey? They may be able to help you push through those difficult moments.
It is a long journey but there is no doubt in my mind that you can do this! God is my strength and He can be yours too if you allow Him.
Praying for encouragement and strength
