I think this is one of the hardest things I have ever done! Yes, I include giving birth in this! This is so much harder! This is me being vulnerable and open and being held accountable for what I let happen to my body. Yes I have had 2 kids and they are my everything, which is another one of the issues. I care more about my family than I did about myself... I know this doesn't sound like a bad thing and its not completely. However, I cared more about them and took no time to take care of myself. I have recently learned that its ok to take a little time for myself. I have found for me its easiest to put the kids to bed then work out at home, go walking, or running. I have also realized that when I would get frustrated at home with the kids, house, etc. I would eat to relieve the frustration. There are times that I still feel this way but fight the urge to do so. I think one of the reasons this is so hard to post these before pictures is because I have lost 28 lbs! WHAT on earth did I look like before?!? I know this is the beginning to another weight loss journey and I have my fears about this as well. I am scared that I can't/won't loose the weight. I am scared that I will and still not feel good about myself. I am hoping in this next month I can overcome my fears about myself and become the woman I want to be. I will be weighing myself in for the first time on wed. I will post that day.
