    It was me, my mirror, and my overly tight clothing that made me start eating well and exercising.

    I asked my husband if he thought I had good muscle tone and he fumbled an answer.

    Don't ever ask your husband things like that! He'll stick a twix in his mouth!

    For me it was my own self image and low self esteem,When I was younger and thin I still had low self esteem, I guess I've had it my entire life. 1st marriage only made this problem worse. I went from 130 to 220 with my first child, got made fun of by my family mostly, it hurt pretty bad, second pregnancy was a little better, not a whole lot....
    I want to be proud of myself and what I have accomplished, I never wanted to be a woman who blamed her weight or flaws on having children...I want to be strong inside and out, and I want that confidence to rub off on my girls.
    I'm still learning.
