I WANT to get fit, loose weight, eat healthy, but those choccy biscuits always look so yummy and those chicken nuggets dd leaves are so scrummy dipped mayo, oh where is my self bloody discipline?

[CharlotteACavatica]

I used to be 21 and i size 8, now im 31 and size 14, after 4 kids, my poor boobs are hammered, im saggy, knackered, i cant be bothered to make any real effort with my hair and my make-up bag is now a solitary tube of mascara chucked on the bathroom window-ledge (i think my 4yo dd uses it more then me!) My mum recently said "ive never seen you so chubby" im not ready to be fat and flabby and all manky! I want to get fit! How do you overcome the pathetic lack of self-discipline and even less self-motivation? I think about getting off my butt and doing some exercise but the only time i get is of an evening and im too knackered then. How do some mums get so thin, and toned and fit? HOW??

I've not tried it myself (so just giving this a wee bump) but have you tried / considered a slimming group like weight watchers or slimming world? v. good for the motivation apparently

I've found that a wii fit works well for me as it's always there and I can do it while DS naps. You're bound to know someone who has one festering under a sofa so you could try before you buy.

you MUST go and get a new haircut. RIGHT NOW. ring them.

and on your way home you must waltz into a make up shop and buy a few new bits, and then go for a decaf black coffee and read the papers and remember why it's WORTH taking care of yourself.

and then come on the 'nothing tastes as good as' thread or one of shiney's ones or the low-carb one and go on a diet with your internet chums.

Lol just read this (sorry internet playing up) i LOVE the idea of dieting with mumsnet mates i very much need a boot up the bum as im sat here scoffing choccy digestives and feeling fat! tut tut tut!

no advice just sympathy really. ive been in your situation and can recommend slimming world it definately worked for me i stopped at a size 14 though as i think this is a nice and normal size. good luck i also have a health coach on my ds which is good it shouts at you if you havnt done enough exercise its not everyones cup of tea but it works for me

oooh goody I've just ordered the Health Coach on DS, with the pedometer. Wanted the posh Walk With Me one but it's 5x the price!? I thought it'd be good to remind myself how little exercise I do
