Losing weight has been so hard for me because I have had a very ignorant relationship with food. I'm not ignorant. I'm actually pretty smart (so my mom says p)! I run a pretty clean and organized home. My kids are healthy, love learning and are friendly. My husband and I are forcing our friendship on Dave Ramsey and relearning to patiently communicate with each by rediscovering our dreams and goals since the "honeymoon phase" is WAY over (2 kids, 2 dogs and a mortgage more than on our wedding day).
So it only makes sense that I would rediscover this relationship with my body that has morphed into something else. Having two children has sort of jacked up some stuff: 2 hernias, severe diastasis in my stomach muscles and stretch marks that can seriously double as a road map. But, I love every bit of the changes because this amazing body made two amazing, beautiful children (and hopefully one more) that we love and adore in every way! My c-section scars and stretch marks are visual badges I have that shout "I'm super! I make people!" Hence, reexamining this thoughtless relationship I have had with food since birth. I just can't eat what and how and then exercise like I did when I was younger and pre-children. Let's face it, I'm just not a spring chicken anymore...I'm a spring hen :).
