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.
An excerpt from a blog post I wrote in 2014 after the birth of my second set of twins. I was scared of taking care of so many little children and wrote myself a letter to help during the hard days.

I remember how hard it was when I first became a mother, I neglected myself so much it was causing my baby and husband to be unhappy. If I could go back and talk to that mother, this is what I’d say.
So here I am, caught in a mind battle. The wish to be grateful, patient, and peaceful mixed with the raw emotions of wanting my outward appearance to match how I see myself in my head.
