So yesterday my son and I went to his best friend's birthday party. Pizza, cake, and a ton of morbidly obese people stuffing their faces. It was really sad, and reminded me of myself 2 years a go when I had 275lbs hanging from my 5'2" frame. I watched people eat 4,5, 6 pieces of pizza like they just broke free from a concentration camp. The kids, ages 5-10, were all obese as well, **** bigger than my D cups. My son wasn't allowed to eat any of it since I'm starting him on a gluten free diet to help with his aspergers (if you're not familiar with the connection google aspergers and gluten). I overheard my son talking to his best friend about how he should teach his mom about eating healthy so that she could live longer. My son is 7 and knows all about the affects of unhealthy eating and no exercise. I felt it was important when I decided to make a life change that I involve him as well, so we educated ourselves together. I also didn't want him to think that I had body image issues, the 'f' word is not something we say, we tend to say overweight or unhealthy instead.
Anyway, I griped the other day about having a hard time not giving into temptation, and found the birthday party as motivation to improve. It was like a blast from my past. I'm sure maybe some people found me rude, but I really don't care, they're not the ones that have to deal with the consequences of what I eat.

Alright, going to try this ticker thing again.

    Fixed your ticker stuff for you, make sure you use the BBcode it provides as the HTML stuff won't work

    Thank you! I had asked on previous ones a few times, figured I'd post all this time to see which worked, ty!!!

    No problem, also updated your signature as well to show the ticker

    Does that mean I wont have to paste the BB code?
    I have no clue what a signature on a blog is :/
    thank you!

    No, the signature only works for the forums unfortunately. So that whenever you make a forum post it'll automatically show.

    If you want your ticker to show up in blog posts you'll need to copy/paste the BBcode from the ticker site into your blog post each time.

    Ticker code should look like this:

    Glad the birthday was a source of motivation instead of giving in! I find it really sad how often I overhear extremely overweight parents tell their extremely overweight children 'no, only ONE candy bar' or 'ok you want a soda or two?'. It's shocking to me....I am so thankful my mindset was corrected before bringing children into the world.

    Thanks for sharing your observations. Very insightful.
    I've gotten a lot of motivation from reading this forum, too, and corresponding with a nice group.

    Oh Maggie with the soda!!! Oh my gosh I can't stand it! 2 weeks ago we went to yet another birthday party and all they had was soda! Glad I brought waterbottles for my son and I! I've never been a big soda drinker, with the exception of a few months when I was morbidly obese, but when I stopped drinking it I stopped craving it. Same thing goes with any sugary food-you stop eating it, you stop craving it. I don't remember soda being offered as a child, but I grew up in New England, not Utah, which is where we are now.
