| You Go Girl, several of the wives here have bought a ball and left it in the living room, one even put a cross trainer and slapped the kid in a back pack walker and strolled away. I am a ball girl. While he is deployed I don't worry about leaving it in my living room. And I figure if no one likes it that comes over ...... well they don't need to come over!! Take courage, my favorite phrase instead of saying I am a "souse of a deployed service member” I am; "We are Women of Victory” We are victorious over being both mom and dad 24/7. I find strength knowing so few really know what that means. It's more than just being a single parent but you always have in the back of your mind will I get to eat dinner with him ...... one more time, So, for us “: Women of Victory" we put our chins up use that 14 min 45 second phone call 2x a week to assure him we are making it without him but how we still need him, that he doesn’t have to worry because we are making it. And quietly to ourselves we say… we can…. and we will ……make it until tomorrow. So you are making a life change. Good for you. May you be blessed today as you stand “Victoriously” loosing weight and may you stand in the gap of being mommy and daddy with renewed strength to wait until tomorrow.

He will survive and you wont.
Get to the gym.
You are lucky to have a gym you can use. There are plenty of things you can do at home if you can't handle his not liking the tot room.
There are a lot of articles for stay at home moms and home exercises. If you need any help with ideas, just respond to this thread.

Honestly, I can't even imagine. I do feel so frivolous for feeling sorry for myself. When my little one was a month old I was laying on the couch every day...how you managed a major move to a new country (a cold snowy country at that) I don't know.
I guess miliary wives are stronger than most.
This raising baby stuff is hard! Last year at this time I was in this fabulous carreer making great money and now I'm lucky to get a shower everyday let alone a workout. I tried explaining to my husband that its impossible to work out with Audrey and he doesn't understand "since I'm home all day". She only takes two 20-30 minute naps a day! I try and shower during the morning nap and I prepare as much of our dinner as I can during afternoon. Its easy for him to say as he is home for only two hours a day before she goes to bed...but I know...thats two more hours than you get!
Anyway- glad you found this site. Good luck with the exercise...I can't give you any advice as I'm not able to manage much myself. Feel free to vent anytime you want!

| being a military wife and stay at home mom is the hardest thing i have ever gone through! a month after my son was born we were sent to japan for 3 years. northern japan where it snows ALOT! my son is almost a year now, and its just me and him (oh yeah and by the way he is cutting more teeth!)... my husband is deployed right now and wont be back for a couple of months. it has been really hard for me to get to the gym because babysitters are in short supply and my son really hates the tot room they have at the gym! food has always been my comfort.. and the problem for me! i am so thankful i found this website though. i was stuck in the everyday rutine that weightloss was pretty much hopeless! but.. im trying...

I was sitting here feeling sorry for myself because I threw my back out and my husband couldn't take the day off to help watch our very demanding 8 month old when it occured to me that there are many many military mommies, daddies, and extended families that are doing this every day. They don't even get a break in the evening when daddy comes home.
I just wanted to say thank you to all of your for your sacrifices. God bless you.
