May 12th represents 8 weeks in my new WOL, mother's day, and my baby girls first day in nursery at church. I want to take a picture of her with her teachers, and ME...I know I will not be a skinny me by May 12th, but hopefully I can be a better me. When she looks back at the picture, she will know her mom was at the beginning of a journey that will take me through the rest of my life. That's the best I can give her (as far as weight and a healthy WOL goes).
Having struggled with weight my entire life, I so much don't want my kids to do the same. In fact, I just want them to be so accustomed to healthy eating, that they don't have to worry about weight at all. But no matter how much I serve the right portions of veggies, fruit, protein, etc.... If I am overweight...it just doesn't send the healthy message.
Also, we will be trying for child #3 in July. Gosh, it was so hard carrying both of my kids! I have to get down to a reasonable weight first. In fact, our plans may be put off for a while if I don't. I want to be at least 210. That's 27 pounds more to go. So we may be trying in August or September. We'll have to see.
If I don't make the May 12th goal, that's okay. I will know that I've done everything in my power to reach it. One of my favorite sayings is"
"You must reach for the impossible to make the possible happen!"
Thanks again for the input everyone!
