Profile Layout....

I keep trying different layouts and I think I have finally found one I like. The logo on the side pretty much says it ALL. "Spread your wings and fly" is how am I living right now. I was watching the "Makeover" episode of Biggest Loser and they had the contestants tell their "fat" stories, Liz's story really hit home for me. She explained that she has lived her whole life doing for others instead of doing for herself. I totally relate to that!!

After having my 3 children I never lost weight between pregnancies. Each pregnancy was less than 2 years apart so with a new born at home and working it was really hard to get back into shape. I never had someone (other than daycare and that gets expensive) to watch my kids so I couldn't go work out and it just seemed easier to grab food here and there. Then with kids, in my eyes, kids needs came first, husband came second, my parents and friends next and myself last.

Now I understand when people say take care of yourself first because you can't properly care for others. I did a pretty good job taking care of others but was never happy with myself. I was looking for happiness every where else but within myself. Now that I have started this journey I can see why taking care of yourself brings you complete happiness.

I also think with this journey I have learned a lot more about me and what I can accomplish. Knowing I can loose this weight successfully is such an awesome feeling. It really makes me think the opportunities are endless.
