A month of dieting and a lot of weight let go of.
A long way to go for this Mama but there really is little choice. A few friends are helping to inspire, Heather and Lexi for sure, and Janice with all her healthy choices and information.
I am reminded that I need to be more mindful when it comes to body image issues and young girls. Watching others diet when I was growing up I think caused some body image issues, though when I was younger I was thin and in shape. I do not with to cause my own daughters those issues and I think the word “diet” because of my efforts is already a word and worry for my oldest. She often cooks and tells me she is sad what she is making is not on my diet… this should not be a thought for her in my opinion. I am choosing to no longer mention such things. I will accept what she chooses to make with thanks and eat a little at least. I hope my younger daughters will simply see me making better choices and not have the 4 letter word in their minds when I am doing it.
