Jodee congratulations on your decision to get back on the
Cohen's ride. Our kids are certainly motivation (and the cause occasionally) for us to lose that weight. During my last major
weight loss effort back in 1999, my youngest was nearly 7yo and didn't want his mummy to lose any weight cos I 'wouldn't be able to give good cuddles anymore'. Proved him wrong but lost the plot after 8 months and 28 kg, put it all back on of course. Now at 14, he is very proud of his Mum. Both my boys are, and I too have noticed a difference in my attitude and how I feel when talking to their friends, I'm not the
fat Mum anymore, I'm more confident and assertive, probably less self concious about 'are people looking at me? What are they thinking?', that sort of rubbish that is a very real part of being overweight and not feeling in control. Good luck.
Lauren
