Inspiration for mom ;)

I wasn't going to blog today because I didn't go to the gym yesterday and I ate like a pig. But there are a couple of things I want to put out there. I was reading an article the other day about people that blog and how it helps them lose weight. At the end of each persons story they would say what their greatest tip is. One guy said, "Don't let a failure ruin your day, week, month. If you get a hole in one tire are you going to slash the other three?" That made a lot of sense to me. It illustrated how self destructive those inner voices can be. Another person said, "Weight loss must be about self love not self loathing." That was like a slap in the face. If I loved myself would I be so preoccupied with a scale and a size. If I loved myself wouldn't I be more concerned about putting the best things in this body that I love? If I loved me would I tear myself apart because I had a piece of cake? I look in the mirror with disgust but I need to see the body that has had 3 kids. The body that moves me painlessly throughout my life. My healthy body has treated me well, I have been blessed.
