Last week ended with a 2lb gain. I was disappointed but I didn't let it get me down. I climbed back on the wagon this week and hit it hard! I am proud to say that the 2lbs I gained last week are gone.
I spent alot of time thinking about my upbringing and how I viewed myself. I can clearly remember that by the age of 12 I was already obessed with my image. I had this little belly bump below my belly button and I remember thinking about cutting it off! WHOA!! I know it shocks me too. I thought the whole procedure through. How I could cut it off and stitch it back up.
I want to live a healthy life and be active not only for myself but for my beautiful daughters. I don't want them to go through what I went through. I know if I live it before them they will develop healthy habits and my struggles won't be theirs.
I have always been conscience of what they eat. For snacks they get healthy choices (apples, Cheerios, bananas, hard boiled eggs, WATER...). I try to stay away from those sugary snacks like fruit snacks, sweet cereal, cookies. Yes they get sweet snacks every now and than, but its usually not something we have in our house.
My oldest daughter made me a very proud Momma when at a wedding they were offering snacks. Cookies, chips, apples, and bananas. My little gir,l when offered a cookie, said she wanted a "nana". Our house keeps a healthy supply of fruit because of this occasion. You can't have enough healthy choices when we are bombarded with unhealthy ones at EVERY checkout line! Yes, I am a victim of last minute snack purchases at Wal-Mart
Here's to not missing it this week!
