Boosting Myself Up

Today I made a decision. I made a decision to quit being sad about the "mommy weight" I have gained, and do something about it. I've decided to pay more attention to what I'm doing to my own body and I know it will make a difference. I have done this before. I can do it now. I'm excited for it. It won't be easy, but I know I can do it. I also have decided, which is different from before, not to let the scale affect the way my self-esteem is that day. It's a hard thing, but I think if I make a consious decision to just live my life rather than live and die by the scale I think it would be a good thing. I can't let weight loss become my whole life either. There is a lot more to life than food. I do a lot of things, shopping, reading, hanging out with friends, playing with Ethan, but a lot of what I do has food involved. I think it's time to move beyond that and just live.
