New Beginnings

I heard an interesting tid bit on the radio yesterday. Apparently there was a study done and it takes the majority of new moms 18 months before they feel good about themselves again. They said it wasn't just physically, but emotionally. I can totally see it! It is hard work to try and bounce back (physically) and I think my "self worth" kind of took a backseat. Not in a bad way but as you mommies know, our babies come first!

I started Weight Watchers (WW) in November just to try and work on losing some weight and I finally feel like I am getting somewhere... I was recognized today for losing 5% of my body weight (yay me!) today at our meeting and it really felt great. Our group leader asked me how I felt I could honestly say, I feel SO much better emotionally. My mind is clearer and I feel like I have a little better grip on things which has been amazing. (I am down another hole in my belt too which feels great!)


I never really said anything before because 1. I feel like I am always saying I am going to lose weight and never getting anywhere..... 2. I needed to keep myself accountable. Hopefully this will do the trick! I can't say it has all been coming up roses because a few weeks after I started the program, WW switched to a new one and it took me a good 3 weeks to get on board. I am slowly getting there but it is work. I hope this means 2011 will continue to be a positive year for me/ us.
