I often feel bad for taking time for myself or buying something for myself as I'm sure many of you do to. Why is this? I mean I work, I pay bills but if I want new shoes, there always seem to be more important things, like kids shoes or summer is coming and they will need new summer clothes. The thing is my kids dressers are full of clothes and I wear the same things. I think that's part of being a mom.
However the last little while I have put myself first. I am gluten free and they all are alright with that, I walk everyday and they are alright with that, I signed up to be a beachbody coach and with a bit of financial planning (no more eating out) they are alright with that so why do I feel so guilty??
Guilt must be the top feeling in a moms life, who knows why but we seem to all have it, men on the other hand dont seem to have it as much, they deserve things lol. Which I truly wish I could be the same.
I'm enjoying putting myself at the top and the guilt is going away, because truly I'm doing it to help us all live a happy healthy life and I'm showing the kids that hard work pays off. I'm 30 pounds lighter, not only in weight but I feel lighter in my worries and thoughts. I'm starting to get some confidence and when someone says I look good I say thank you, I feel good instead of ......................no I dont or whatever.
I eat well workout with 21dayfix everyday and walk most, who is the person I have become? A better mommy, a better wife and a better friend. And you know what I'm truly happy!! Im happy with myself for the first time in many years and its nothing to do with my children, I have totally done this for myself. I still have a hill to climb but I'm doing it and look forward to the next valley.
