I've had to work hard all these years to maintain it but it's been worth it. I also know that I can be a better mother to my children and am limiting health risks by taking better care of myself. The self confidence you'll have will be a draw for your husband. You can do it.

Your post wasnt harsh at all...I would rather people be honest than sugar coat something. I understand that the changes I am making now are going to be lifelong changes. I already have it set in my mind that I will not go back to the heavier weight. I weigh myself everyday (Im an instant gratification person) and once I reach my goal I will continue to weight myself everday and if the scale starts to tip more than 5-10 lbs the wrong way then I will know I need to change something.
