Losing weight can be very difficult. There are always challenges that can hinder our daily profess in reaching the healthy weight we desire.
Losing weight can be especially hard for moms for a variety of reasons. Moms put a great deal of their time and energy into taking care of their kids.
From the moment the day starts, to the second the day ends, many moms spend their time focusing on their children: what their kids are eating, how they are doing in school, when they need to get to various activities and making sure they are having a happy, fulfilling life.
It is this love for their children that often have many moms forgetting to put that much time and energy into taking care of themselves.
According to Good Housekeeping, Casey Gemmell is a 37-year-old mom who realized a few years ago that she had put her own health behind her focus on giving all her time and attention to her little ones. Casey saw some photos of herself that made her realize she had let her own health become a low priority.
She weighed almost 350 pounds at the time and prior to seeing those photos, she had accepted herself as being someone who would always be overweight.
She decided right then that she wanted to change her looks, her life and her outlook on living. She wanted to live a fuller life for both her and her family. She knew what she had to do.

Casey made a commitment to start exercising every single day. She turned to technology to motivate her to run and she began incorporating weight training into her daily routine. She also committed to really getting healthy, not just losing weight.
When her photos started popping up on social media.
“I thought ‘That’s not me, what a terrible angle,'” Gemmell told “Today.”
She didn’t want a quick fix. Instead, she wanted to lose weight the right way and to adopt a healthy lifestyle that would last her for the rest of her life.
According to Good Housekeeping, Casey decided to do away with 4 things:
- Bread,
- Pasta,
- Cheese, and
- Sodas.
Casey lost 155 pounds over 4 years and now enjoys a healthy, active lifestyle. She says that as a busy mom, it is really all about finding balance and focusing on your health. She hopes that her story to a healthier will inspire other busy moms.
In 2015, Gemmell shared her story in her Facebook group, Beautiful U. She wrote about her success saying:
"...It has now been just a little over 2 years and I have lost 64 kilos to date. I know a lot more about good nutrition and exercise and I know what my body needs to give me optimal results and give me the drive to workout, work, be a wife and a mother all at once - BALANCE yes BALANCE it is all about BALANCE!!"
