I'm a 38 stay-at-home-mom of 2 little girls, Ages 6 (almost 7) & 3 yrs old. My husband and I celebrated our 11th wedding anniversary on 9/26/09. Although I give of myself to them daily, it is time to start giving back to ME. This may sound selfish to others, but when you are a Mom, you tend to put yourself last and everyone else first. I love my family immensely, but in order for me to be around for them in the future, I need to become healthy. I currently am not healthy. I lack energy ...

I'm a 38 stay-at-home-mom of 2 little girls, Ages 6 (almost 7) & 3 yrs old. My husband and I celebrated our 11th wedding anniversary on 9/26/09. Although I give of myself to them daily, it is time to start giving back to ME. This may sound selfish to others, but when you are a Mom, you tend to put yourself last and everyone else first. I love my family immensely, but in order for me to be around for them in the future, I need to become healthy. I currently am not healthy. I lack energy and motivation. I don't eat properly (skipping meals and catching up later is not a good thing.) I have digestive issues. I never had digestive issues in my entire life. I want to feel good. I want to look good in my clothes; not frumpy & slumpy, like I do now.

2008 was supposed to be about reclaiming some of the 'ME' I use to 'BE'. But it didn't happen. I meant to really do this in 2009....hasn't happened yet. I MUST do this. I MUST! It is so hard to lose and so easy to gain.
