I’m Not Giving Up
I used to sing this song to my children, but tonight it was exactly what I needed to hear.

For years I’ve wanted to have a healthy self imagine, to love myself for just being me. But for years what I thought of myself was mostly what I thought where else thought of me. This year I decided was the year I’d put the time and energy into learning who I am and why that’s enough. Here’s the first party of what I’ve learned so far.
I take my body for granted so many times and treat it horribly in the meantime. Here’s what I really want to say to my beautiful breathing body!
Why is it I just feel bad that I keep eating treats!? Why does my brain choose to focus on the one aspect that I’m not doing particularly well at instead of all the good I’m doing!?
Learning to love your body after having children can be a process. Here are my thoughts 6 months postpartum from my last baby.
I haven’t always been great at New Year’s resolutions, but I’m beginning to understand what it means to treat each day like it’s the beginning of the rest of your life. I am grateful for this knowledge because I am taking this year especially to take the time to rediscover me after bringing all my children into this world.
My body is amazing to have 10 kids in 10 years! And yet I still have a hard time with it not being what I’d like it to be. Maybe if I were to choose to love my body like I do others around me.
