All My life i've said I didn't want to have kids, told My now husband that when we were just dating and My parents that for a long time aswell....
I was confident I didn't want to hassle, the pain, the commitment, the responsibility, the diapers, the Stress, the cost or the burden
i was confident I didn't need the love, the reward and all those positive feelings that come along with them....
Now 'everyone' is doing it....I know like 30 people that have babies/are pregnant etc
I see the joy, the excitment, the pride, the happiness...
Am I going to miss out?
Can hubby and I handle kids? He can't even commit to walking the dog on a regular basis...what about a child.....???
Hmmmm. Is it peer pressure ? Or interest ?
?????
But for now I will go to boot camp this morning and keep losing weight so if we do deceide we are taking that step I can be happy and healthy...

Fat Prison- seen on a couple different websites-
I want to tell you about a very unusual sort of prison. It's called Fat Prison. Why is it so unusual? Because it's completely voluntary.
No one sends us to Fat Prison, we send ourselves!
What's it like to be a fat prisoner? The rules are very strict. To begin with, each prisoner must wear regulation uniform. This consists of a baggy skirt or elasticated pants. Most prisoners pretend they don't mind walking around in this shapeless uniform, but secretly they hate it. They'd much rather walk down the street in a slim pair of jeans.
Exercise is strictly controlled Swimming or playing with children is forbidden. And no prisoner may walk more than a few yards at a time. The penalties for breaking this rule include sweating, shortness of breath, soreness and fatigue. After a few years without any sort of proper exercise, prisoners become so soft that the very idea of movement terrifies them. If you don't believe me, go up to a fat prisoner and suggest a nice long walk in the fresh air!
Everyday life The main feature of everyday life inside Fat Prison is tiredness. Prisoners carry lots of extra weight around on their bodies, so not surprisingly they suffer from chronic fatigue. Result? After doing their daily chores, most of them slump down exhausted in front of the TV.
Even when they allow themselves a night out, many prisoners find it difficult to enjoy themselves. They feel awkward about their shape so instead of mixing with other people they tend to sit in the corner with other fat prisoners.
Prison Mentality After many years of locking themselves away inside their Fat Prison, many prisoners develop a prison mentality. They lose confidence in themselves and their ability to "go straight". They look at slim people and think: "I'm never going to be like them!" They think they are doomed to stay in Fat Prison, forever. Result? They let themselves go completely.
Bad for Health Fat Prison is very bad for prisoners health. Don't forget, the greater our weight, the greater the strain on our joints and spine. And the fatter we grow, the harder our heart has to work to keep us going. No wonder so many fat prisoners get ill!
Depressing Fat Prison is a depressing experience, not only for the prisoners but also for their families. In fact, the children of fat prisoners often grow up to become prisoners themselves. It's a vicious cycle.
Question So why do so many people end up in Fat Prison? And even more important, why don't they leave once they discover how awful it is?
Answer Because they prefer to eat cookies, chocolate, potato chips, popcorn, doughnuts, fatty meat and creamy desserts. They know that this stuff makes them fat but they don't care. They'd rather go to prison than give up their regular mouthful of fat. *Some may have other reasons
Are you a fat prisoner? Have you locked yourself up in your own private Fat Prison? If so, here's some advice. Don't waste another day of your life in jail. Get out now!
All you have to do is stop eating junk and start eating properly and you can walk free tomorrow.
It may take a few months before your weight returns to normal, but your tiredness will lift immediately and within a week you'll feel ten times better. So what are you waiting for?Get out of your Fat Prison today and start really living!

a lot of time I think it is peer pressure because I know I feel it. I have absolutely no interest in ever having kids and people always say, oh you will or, its because your young just wait. And while Im sure that might be true for some people, some of us just arent meant for having kids not because we wouldnt be great parents, but because not everyone wants or needs a baby. I think you just have to look at what is making you interested in this now and find out if it is because everyone else is doing it and you want to fit in, or because of the attention people make out of it, or if there really is something missing in your life and you are ready for the responsibility. just know that its Ok NOT to have kids too.
Okay...having kids of your own is waaaaay different than taking care of others' kids. However, best way to tell if you really want it is to babysit a little one for a night or two...or even three. You'll find out real quick if you want or not. I've always loved kids, wanted kids, and finally had one of my own. I swore I wanted three, I kind of want one more, but I'll be happy if I just have my son. He's perfect...to me. However, having my own kid and having to learn how to parent in a way that's suitable to me and my family at a very young age has completely jaded me toward other people's kids. Seriously. I can't stand kids if they aren't my own or very close friend's/family's.
I'm the opposite... I've always really, really wanted to have kids, but these days I think I've missed the boat. We're so OLD! But then one of my friends would have another baby and my heart would just yearn for one again...
You're doing the right thing by getting fit and healthy before even thinking about conceiving!
