Life

My first blog , I became a mom at 26 and it was quite a journey . I never imagined feeling overwhelmed, sad , happy and angry all at the same time . I completely forgot who I was and gave everything I had to this little person that needed me . Food was whatever was available because he needed me . I guess I assumed things would work themselves out as I moved along thru the mom chain of life . As my son got older you try different foods to see what they like . And you know how that goes ?? They want to try something, they don’t eat it so you eat it as you pick up the jacket , cars , backpacks and run out the door . It becomes a habit , a very bad habit that doesn’t seem to get better . I found myself sitting a lot !!! Not doing much of anything because I thought marriage and motherhood was a fun experience with flowers and soft music , trotting thru a field of Daisy’s lol . Yea not so much, but most of the time I watched my son play and thought my God I made that I instantly feel blessed and great full . When we had our Daughter ( another blessing ) the food was even more and more unhealthy. We went full force , zoo’s, museums, theme parks & trips . I never thought of myself as unhealthy! Why? My husband told me I was Beautiful he loved me the way I was never complained about my weight . I gained more and more never looking back . I worked and managed my kids , my marriage, church and my parents. I enjoyed work lunches , greasy foods ,pasta . I truly enjoyed food trust me I still do but I was totally in love with it . I kept going on and on for years . You see as moms we just keep going not looking back at all . Don’t get me wrong we try and get our kids to eat healthy but as your buckling in your child into their car seat you grab the candy bar to hold in your mouth and down it goes . You sit in your seat and take a deep breath and try and remember what’s next on the schedule. It’s not easy being me that’s what we all say isn’t it? We get up and repeat every day and do not think about our health and wellness . I’m introducing you to my life , my journey , my path of disaster of unhealthy choices . A few times a day my Iwatch tells me to take a moment and breath , inhale , exhale for one minute . Try it when you feel out of sorts and start concerning yourself with how you live your life . End your day with a prayer …
