[quote=Anonymous]I did this - with my measurements and it did not really motivate me.

Not sure the age of your kids but I got my kids involved. I told them I don't like to walk alone so they would walk with me or babysit for free my friends little ones. I told them fruits and veggies are really important to me right now so they would help me cut them up. Just little things like that.

They will say is that healthy when I eat something. Which is fine. Or they would say "is that on your diet" which I told them I did not like them to say.

I often had to make myself a different meal because their dietary needs were different. We would talk about why things are healthy for me vs. them.

In the end, it really came down to them understanding I needed time to work out and make healthy food so they understood pizza was too tempting, etc. I could not have bags of chips in the house.

So I wouldn't post my weight because it did not motivate me but I think kids need to understand diets and that women and men and children all have different dietary needs. I think they need to understand that you are very important and that you want to be happy, healthy and around for a long time to be with them and it is everybody's job to make this work.
