I gained .2 pounds this week from last week's weigh in, oops! I'm sure it had nothing to do with the fact that I felt kinda lazy this week, or the fact that I made quite a few treats, or the fact that I ate out more than I should have, and especially not because of the 5 halves of mini desserts that Linda and I devoured at Olive Garden. I'm trying not to be too hard on myself though, I feel like I still have made great progress overall.
I have been really pondering on my past lately, thinking about how my self esteem used to be. I now realize that I made fun of myself about my weight, or hair, or clothes, so that no one else would have to. It's pretty sad when I think about it.
Having children has changed my life in so many ways, one way is how I speak about myself in front of Alison and Matthew. I want them to grow up with a great self-esteem, so I have become forced to be a good example of that. I find it kind of ironic that every year, I am "celebrated" on mother's day, but really, I should be the one to celebrate my children, because they are the reason I am a mother, and a better one each day because of what they teach me.

Jana.... this wrld is obsessed with weight and how others view our outer appearance. Think about it, being skinny, is this going to make you better, I honestly say NO. Your amazing just the way you are. As long as you fel good, can keep up with the kids and be you who cares how much you weigh or what you've lost/gained. Don't judge yourself on how you think othrs view you. We love you just as you are and for WHO you are. Be proud, it sounds like you have an amazing life and honestly that's what you should look at and measure yr success not by pounds but by the hugs and kisses you get from those adorable babies and yr husband.
I just had to add that, were never happy with our outer appearance none of us area, but I've found out thru hard times that the only thing that really matters is how my kids love me and that makes me ....ME!
LOVE YOU JANA
