Bum and Gaining Weight :((((

I'm officially a bum for two weeks now and has been doing mommy duties. But, don't get me wrong, I'm still planning to work in a month's time. Just having a problem getting a helper so that I can leave my 6-year old son at home. And I'm praying hard that I'll get a great helper and land on some company, too, which I have a pending application with.

I'm having problems, though. Being home for a few days, I was eating like there's no tomorrow and I gained a lot of weight already. Sometimes, I really feel that life is unfair because I have friends who even eat more, yet they were able to maintained a literally slim bod. How I wish I could be one of them!

I'm a whopping 150-152 lbs at the moment (depending on the time of the day), and that's a BIG problem. I'm afraid this may also affect my job hunting. I've been in the Sales industry for so long and I know being physically pleasant plays a great role and my next target job involves selling, too. Right now, losing weight is at the top of my list. I will need to stick to a diet and do some physical activities amidst staying at home. So, I guess, I will also be posting updates on my journey to losing weight as well. I hope you won't mind if I keep an online diary of the my food intake? And if you can share with me some tips, too? I'm even looking at the possibility of taking diet pills as my last resort. But for now, I'll try to do it naturally.
