Before After

Deny, Deny, Deny

I wonder how often I deny myself the need to rest and recouperate.  It's only when I find myself eating out of control that I realize I've chopped off pieces of myself in the following ways:
*I don't mind doing that extra load of laundry even though I haven't eaten breakfast yet."
"I won't leave Ephram in daycare one second longer than when I'm working.  Who cares if I don't get any processing time from my job."
"I'll wash my husband's clothes even though mine are piled up and Ephram has no clothes for the next day."
"I'll go to the store even though it could wait and I'm tired."

And on it goes.  Well, I'm trying to empower myself this week and get rid of some of the Mom guilt. 
*No washing hubbie's clothes this week
*bring Ephram on my day off so I can rest and get rid of this cold and sore throat!
*finally watch a movie all the way through!

I"m only three pounds away from my original JC goal weight of 220!  I can't wait!

Good!

It is okay to have some time for yourself. I have a hard time saying no as well or doing for others and never for myself, but have started to come to the realization that no one is going to make me put my good physical or mental health first, I have to do that on my own!  Good for you for having some down time. 

....

Good for you, Steph.  I'm proud of you for coming to this realization.  And rock on with the goal weight!  You are awesome!

!!!

you NEED some "me" time.  do NOT feel guilty over getting some.  Even 15 minutes!  sheesh lady!  :)

:)

good for you! there is nothing wrong with taking time to care for yourself.  

.

You too look fabulous dah'ling!  I can't remember:  will you go lower than 220 as a goal, or is this it?  The end of the weight loss road for you and then onto maintenance?
 
Enjoy your free time this week!
