Why don't I care more about getting healthy

[Guest guest]

I hope that some of you that have solved this riddle

can help me. I'm 45 with 5 children. I have a

doctorate and worked as a professor for many years

before deciding to stay home. When I started a family

I was 140. When I quite work I was up to 220 and I am

now up to 270 (5'6 " ). I love the WW points, but I

just don't care enough about my health and my looks to

lose weight. Did I care when I worked? Only slightly

more than I care now. My children notice, especially

the teens, but they understand. I don't want to shame

my children and feel that I should care and be more

motivated to lose weight. I know I could die at any

moment, and some of my children are still young. I

see myself as a very selfish lady. Please offer ideas

or insights if you are able.

I only occasionally can get to meetings because they

are out a ways. I'm thinking about joining WW online

for more regular support, but now that I've found this

list I believe you all might be of more help. I have

tried other programs and think it isn't so much the

eating approach as it is my attitude. I want to stick

with the WW points and make it work.
