New Beginnings and Finding My Place
So this year, I have been making a lot of changes in my own body, mind, and spirit. I have started changing my lifestyle where my health is concerned. I need to lose weight. Simply put. It is not something that I would like to do, it has become a need to do. I battled postpartum depression for over a year, I was on medication for it but it seemed like all that was happening was that I was having to up my dosage of it. It was helping but I was not feeling better about myself, my role at a wife and as a mother. There was something missing still.
In February, I started out all on my own by cutting out mindless snacking at night. That is all I did. I lost 5 lbs in 3 wks from that alone. In March I started exercising everyday for a minimum of 20 mins. More weight and inches came off. In April, i changed my eating habits. More weight and inches gone. However, something still felt like it was missing.
I did not have any external support. Adam did the best that he could but he was only one person.
The last week of March, I stumbled across this amazing group on Facebook called "Single Dad laughing Health Club and at first I just sat back and watched. In April when I realized that I need their help, support, and guidance. I jumped in with both feet. I had found what was missing. These people were loving, accepting, and did not care that I was just starting out on my journey and felt a little lost. They took me in anyway. I can remember Adam saying to me, how good it was to hear me laugh again because of some of these amazing people. I knew then, that I was on the right path.
I know most of them will probably never read this but I want and need to thank them publicly. You probably saved my life by taking me in to your family.
Thank you from the depths of my heart.
Big Love.
