I just turned 34 and have 3 kids, 6, 4 and 2 months. I want to be healthy for my children as well as feel good about myself for ME! When I feel good my family feels good, when I am happy they are happy and that is my main goal in life. Before I was married, I "ate like a rabbit" my husband would say and I also exercised every day.....needless to say I am not in the shape I used to be and it is SOOOO much harder to lose the weight after 30....I should have listened to all those people!! I have been very blessed in life and I am a very happy person, this is the only part of my life I need to control. I am also nursing my newborn son, so I do have to be careful about my calorie intake to keep him healthy as well!
