I'm a 28 yr old single mom of an awesome almost 4 yr old son. He is amazing and I love him so much...But getting pregnant with him was definitely my fatness downfall. I've always struggled with my weight but I was never that heavy (165 the max at 5'9) but since having him I've stayed basically between 195-215. I got down to 167 two Christmases ago, and I have no clue how!! I work out more now than I did then...I wasn't eating very much is the answer, I'm afraid. So even though I got down to that, I don't want to do it that way again.  I have commitment issues in all areas of my life, and weight loss is no exception, unforch.
