[quote=Anonymous]I feel your pain OP, exact same boat here.

I don't know about the exercise, because I haven't figured out how to fit that into my full-time work, 2 young kids schedule.

The eating is hard too.  Instead of buying all of the healthy foods at the beginning of the week & letting them go bad, plan on takeout.  But, instead of pizza, pick up salads, or something else that's semi-healthy, that you LIKE.  For me, that's the key.  We still eat/order pizza & comfort food more than we should but it does help to plan on your takeout being more healthy, at least.  It may not be a perfect solution, but maybe it's one you can handle for now.  And as for the brownies at work.  Don't resist - everyone deserves a little chocolate.  Take one.  Eat half & save the other half?

It seems like you need strategies to help your exhaustion.  Do you & DH take turns sleeping in on the weekends and/or napping when your DD does?  I know when I feel more rested, I feel more motivated to do something and eat healthier.  Can you take walks with DD?  Or commit to 10 minute workout videos with your DH before you collapse on the couch for the night?

I think one thing is not to have the same expectations of yourself as you did before - your life isn't the same as before.  You may not go to the gym and workout for an hour, but 10 minutes at home and a walk outside is better than nothing.  Try making small changes, small decisions - maybe they will lead to bigger changes?
