I've got to figure out how to cheer myself on.. dh doesn't care he drinks, chews, whatever.. I'm finding myself wondering what charm he had that I agreed to marry him.. how sad isn't it? two kids under 4.. yikes.. I better just get MY head on straight ... he's just being a really lazy, inconsiderate, nothing to me lately. So once I kick myself enough times to get to the gym maybe I'll get my better mentalitly back.. someone has to be around for the kids long term and he cares nothing about me or them only himself as I see it. So.. pulling my big girl panties up and going to really put some effort back... hopefully starting tonight at the gym...

I'm sorry to hear you're struggling so Jess... have you tried talking to your hubby about being more of a participant in the marriage? Would he go to counseling? I know some guy scoff at it but it really does work and help give tools for a couple to use to work on things. If not, then just keep working on yourself. Don't let him hold you back in being a better person. You're worth it!
