“Pregnancy for me, is like pulling the rip cord on an inflatable life raft.”
Now you know I wasn’t kidding, when I wrote in my first blog post ever, “Pregnancy for me is like pulling the rip cord on an inflatable life raft.” I have to be honest, I still squirm on the inside and I am riddled with anxiety about sharing progress posts and photos in my current state. I constantly question why anyone would want to read what I have to say now? Why not wait until I complete my weight-loss and then post my success. It all comes back to why I write. I write for my girls.I would want them to define what they want for themselves, make a plan and take pride in each action they take toward meeting that goal! So here we go, the real, unfiltered and raw stages of taking control of your health. Loosing the weight that bogs you down and holds you back. I hope these post will be encouraging for those of you on this journey with me.
