The woman my husband fell in love with.......

[happychic]

So I have been thinking a lot lately about what I looked like before babies took over my body, did the damage and left. You know the body my husband fell in love with. I have been trying to eat better, healthy. I have started exercising again.  I still feel like I'm the same girl he fell in love with, a little softer. I look at pictures of myself and remember my care free spirit, I was a fly by the seat of my pants type girl. I still am to an extent. Can you remember when you always tried to look your best when you knew you would see your husband? I loved buying new underwear if we were going on a date, even if I knew he wouldn't see them. I still like new underwear by the way! It doesn't make me sad to think about the past, I'm glad I had my babies. It does motivate me though. And I still fly by the seat of my pants, just in a new way (you know, can I make it to starbucks and still make the preschool car line in time?) Just kidding.  Ok, here is a picture of me a couple of years before my husband and I  got married. We had been dating already a few years. At least he enjoyed this side of me for awhile before we decided to make babies!!

You are still beautiful.  I have to say though, I LOVE your short haircut.  It's all sassy! LOL

You are doing a good job on working on your healthy eating!  I, for one, am thrilled you have been food journaling with me and the others on my page!

Why is it that we seem to equate 'beautiful' with the word 'thin'? 

You ARE beautiful!!!!

Jan. 27, 2008 at 10:54 PM Let me say, I never said my husband doesn't think I'm beautiful. I know he thinks I am, I'm just expressing my body doesn't look the way it used to. My husband and I both know two 8.5+ lb. boys helped rearrange me. I am very fine with that.

You were beautiful then, and you are beautiful now!! And you are doing great with your healthy eating!! I just hope I can eventually get to the point where I am exercising too.

I'm really glad that we are journaling together! Keep up the awesome work!
