Starting all over again, this time for good!

I've done Atkins before a couple years back with fantastic results, but fell off the wagon and here I am 2 years later with almost 70 pounds to lose. After having 4 kids in the past 7 years I've got a long way to go. This WOL isn't perfect for me in the sense of I have NO time to prepare foods with 5 kids running around my legs, but I'm determined to make it work. (If anyone has advice for this problem, PLEASE HELP ME! ) I'm feeling pretty good about making this life change so I can simply be healthy and feel better about myself. My husband is my support and with 50 pounds to lose himself, he's joining me. Lord knows he will lose faster than I do (men ALWAYS do! ) but it'll be so much easier than doing it alone like I did last time. I'm also doing some walking and slim in 6 for my new exercise routine. My biggest downfall is I am an emotional eater and I suffer from social anxiety, general anxiety and OCD pretty heavily. This often leads to boughts of depression, and then I just like to binge. I can't wait to become part of this fantastic support system you guys have here.

Hi Momwith5kids I think it's great that your hubby is joining you! can't help you with the cooking, as I feel like I spend most of my day cooking and doing dishes

Welcome. The exercise will definitely help you feel stronger and more positive about your new way of life. When I have my grand-kids, I involve them in walking, sports and cooking. They love it and it shows them healthy habits and ways of cooking. Jump in here, make friends and get involved in the great support that is available. We're all here for you.
