Hello everyone -

My name is LeAnn and I live in Idaho. Just to give you a little background,

I had been attending WW until last August and had just received my 25 pds

loss. I loved it and everything seemed to be going very well. Then, we had

a major life change.

We became foster parents to two girls. One 12 and one 9. These were our

first children and it took some adjusting. Although things have gone very

well, part of the state requirements have been that they couldn't be left

alone, so there went all of my free time. Exercise became very difficult to

get in and they didn't seem to like any of the food that my husband and I had

become acustomed too on program. Slowly I let the exercise slide (there were

always 10 hours of things to accomplish and only 1 hour to accomplish it in),

has anyone else ever felt that way? Dumb question, huh? How do moms do it

when not only you have to keep track of yourself, but everyone else in the

family and their activities as well?

Needless to say, I now have gained back almost all of the weight I had lost

and am a little (alot) angry with myself. I feel like all the other moms in

the world look great, why can't I.

I'm not quite ready to start with meetings again, although I'm not quite sure

why. I enjoyed them so much. I guess I'm just afraid.

As a side note, on Monday we will adopt the two girls and become an official

family which will be nice.

I appreciate reading all of your comments and welcome any advice for extra

time (without cutting into my sleep). I work full time and need that as much

as anything it seems. You all keep me going and motivate every time I read.

Thank you all.
