[quote=Anonymous]I've always struggled with my weight (since elementary school).  By college, I was up to 200lbs (I'm only 5'4"). In my 20s, I made some drastic lifestyle changes, discovered a love of running, hiking, and working out.  I was healthy and felt great.  I ran half-marathons and 10 milers.  My weight was about 150, which for me is awesome.  (I have big boobs, know that I will never be waif-like.  Getting into a size 10 was a huge a achievement for me.)  But, fast forward to my late 30s, two kids (pregnancy and nursing were not kind to my body), a busy schedule and a sedantary desk job, and I am back up to 200lbs.  I'm so angry with myself, mostly because I KNOW how to be fit, I just keep putting everyone else's needs before my own. I feel (and am) huge, lack energy, my clothes don't fit, and I'm so self-conscious about my body,  my sex life with DH is suffering.  I want to be a great example for my kids, especially my daughter.  We encourage healthy eating and keep them active.  If either one of them ends up with my weight issues, it will crush me.

I don't know what I'm looking for here. Commiseration?  A kick in the ass?  Your success stories?[/quote]
