"I have carried a child within my body, I have comforted a baby on my chest. I have kissed booboos, mended broken hearts, been puked and peed on, woke up in the middle of the night to a feverish child and more. But I wouldn't have it any other way. My body isn't magazine ...perfect, but when I look in the mirror I see a Mom, and there is NO greater honor or blessing."
I stole that from a friend who posted it on her face book page and I thought how true that was... Losing weight after a baby is a challenge after having two babies its a nightmare... I have all the tools I need to get back to my skinny jeans but I am a mother therefore I have no time, no baby sitters, no motivation and no energy... Everyday I wake up and tell myself today is the day I start my diet plan and I will make it to the gym and after an hour I have already eaten half of Treycen's waffle or half his macaroni at lunch... I find myself wanting to play with my boys over running three miles at the gym... I make excuses after excuses and I have decided that someday I will be back in my skinny jeans and if not its ok because I have MOM written all over me and that is the best compliment... So I will no longer stress about being a size 5 or weighing 130 lbs, I will embrace my looks and body and be proud of the way I look because I have 2 beautiful boys that made me this way.....
Good for you! I'm totally with you....!! We need to be proud of who we are and how we look...Our kids love us just the way we are, we need to love ourselves too!
