One Step At A Time...

Learning to love yourself is a very long journey. It is something every human needs to learn. We may not always be happy with how we look, how much we weigh, or hair color etc but we must always love ourselves. How can we learn to be positive in other areas of our lives, if all we are doing is tearing ourselves down and focus on the negatives? Each one of us deserve love, happiness and who better to find it in then yourself? If we start there and allow others to see us love ourselves be taking care of our bodies, souls and minds. who knows what could happen! I believe that until we learn to love ourselves, no one else can truly and deeply love us. We are each amazing in our own ways. We are not made to be a carbon copy of someone! We are made to be uniquely and authentically us! Show yourself some love today! 

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...
