"Kids Don not need martyrs they need mothers, so take care of yourself first so you can be there for them."Dr Phil
Well for so long I have put my kids first and have a hard time putting m into the equation which I think is a big part of my eating to sooth issue. I believe that instead of taking care of me in a healthy way I have relied on food to calm me and make me feel good.I am trying so hard to put me first by getting healthy for me. It is very difficult in the winter thought to get out there and exercise so for me it is a daily push to do something every day. I am struggling with going to kick boxing tonight but am forcing myself to go because I know how good i feel after going. Going out at night to work out is just not my idea of a good night. I am a morning person or afternoon person and like getting my workout over with early.
I am finally seeing some of the results from my exercising and eating healthy but wish it was a lil more. I got rid of all the bigger clothes that were in my closet and it felt so good. I want the sizes to keep going down. If I could just get down one more size I would definitely feel like it is working. That would be the lowest I have been in about 12 years. I need to do this for me!!!!!
Congrats! It sure is a great feeling to see results and feel your clothes getting bigger.

ReplyDeleteHi Lor!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog and for your kind words.
I just read your post and it saddens me in a way because I have been exactly where you are right now.
Feeling guilty about doing things for myself and feeling miserable because of the way I look and feel.
Let me tell you a little secret, your kids, and your entire family will benefit from you making the change and putting yourself first! you will have more energy to deal with your day, you will be happier, the saying that a happy mom makes a happy family is so very true!
I workout in the evenings and I wouldn't have it any other way, it works for me, being a stay at home mom I need a release from my day and working out is it. Once the kids go to bed it is MY time to do what I need to do to make myself a priority.
Do this for you, you are worth it!
I am glad I found you and will definately be sitting on the side lines and cheering you on!
