hello all! Nice to meet you and thanks for reading!
I’m a married mom in my early 30’s who has spent all my adult life overwieght. I hate when I hear that our bodies are the best in our 20’s cuz it just makes me want to cry knowing I let all those years go unhealthy, overwieght, and with self hate. I can’t really say why I did it, but I did. Now it’s time for me to let go of what I cannot change, and finally change what I can!
That’s whay I say I’m finally starting MY life. Not that I’ve been dead all this time, but in a certain way I have. I had my babies as a teen and have basically lived for them and my family. It’s so easy to ignore yourself when you have so much on your plate. My world surrounded their well being, happiness, love and care. Not to mention I got married very young so all my time and devotion has and will always be for my children and my sweet husband. But as I have gotten older I learned that a truly healthy and happy women is not just a great mom, loving wife, and good employee. She must have more to her, for herself.
As I look into my life I see that I have nothing for ME. So today I start MY life by spending at least one hour a day with something that will benefit me. I will begin with a 30 min walk and do my best to re direct the self hate thinking. I will also put good things in my body, good food that will benefit ME.
As the days go by I think it will get easier to really commit to my diet plan and a great workout plan. But I have to start somewhere and that somewhere is here and now.
