Finding Time for Me

colemangal85

Anyone else ever feel guilty for taking time for themselves? I use to but I'm getting better for it - I noticed how much of a better mom I am when I take that 1 hour here or 2 hours there for me to take care of me. You can't take care of others if you don't take care of yourself. 

I struggled with eating good right after my son was born. I was so tired - I would just eat whatever I could get my hands on but I felt awful and I was unhappy. I recently was invited to a Clean Eating Challenge on Facebook and since then I have really made a change in my eating and I'm losing weight and I'm feeling good and I'm a better mom and a better wife. I wasn't easy at first - it takes time to adjust but I'm loving it! And I know my family is too. 

I did want to let others know, that if I can do it, you can to! - as a working mom who wears many hats - I want to help other working moms find themselves again!

Some people really struggle and I really do care and I want to change lives and it isn't always about the bottom line. And not everyone knows who or where to run …. so I want to help and I can help and I am helping

For a pretty active poster this pretty much seems like spam.

I haven't posted a lot in the past year, because honestly, I have my stride in life with my son. When he was first born as a preemie - I was facing A LOT of challenges and I needed a lot of advice and help and support! I didn't know who or where else to turn and these forums really really helped me.

Seriously though, it's a terrible idea to put that much private info out there like that.  Take out your email and FB page.  There are seriously crazy people on the web.
