I feel like I dont have time for myself to put me first. I have two beautiful children that need me all the time but they will need me long term too And I need to get healthy for them but for me too. So I can for the first time look at myself and say I like myself. Thank you for the read!

Well written women! I remember when my body was a size 2, when I used to be able to sleep in, and used to be able to eat whatever I wanted and not gain an ounce. After having Kai, wow did my body ever change! Thanks for writing this as I can totally relate!

Hi Salma: great that you are continuing on your fitness journey and that you are coming to terms with the body that you have. I’m hoping that the Fitwells staff are helping you to set realistic goals for weight and fitness. I’ve found that setting good goals and sticking to them (for as long as I can!) really seems to make a difference for me. Good luck on your journey!

Really like this post! Thank you for writing it. I’ve been struggling with my weight for a few years now and I get the best results when I let go on the how I look bit and focus more on the how I feel!

In reply to Sophia Hassanali. I look back at my wedding pics and I know I'll never look like that again lol. But with a 4 month old and a 3 year old, it has got to be really tough for you Sophia, especially on lack of sleep. You need to not be so hard on yourself because soon the kids will be older and you'll have even more time to focus on your own health and wellness. P.s every time I see you, you are always look great and dressed so well :)

In reply to Janet Leung. I love it too! That's amazing that you go 5 days a week. I usually go at 9:15 or 9:30. Make sure you say hi if you see me!

In reply to Beth Camp. You are very right, the issue is not going away. Hopefully these are baby steps in trying to feel better about ourselves as real women.
