Just wanted to say hi to everyone.

I have been with MFP since 5th December and decided it was time to get my feet wet by saying hello.

After languishing around for two years after a major car accident and finally getting the all clear, I have hit the gym
and started watching what I eat. Started my journey at 96kg and on Friday broke the first goal by hitting 79.9kg, I went to work with the biggest smile on my face.
I've decided that this is my year, I have been the dutiful daughter, sister, wife and single mum long enough. It really amazes me how we as women put everyone else ahead of self, willingly, selflessly and we feel so guilt when we dare to take 5 minutes to breathe (sorry guys, not being a guy, I honestly don't know if you feel like this so can't comment).
Yeah kinda an year of dawning realisation for me. I have decided that at 49 years young, I am worth the effort, my ex was soo wrong - I'm not stupid and I ROCK!!! Ha take that life!

    whoohoo! yes, us moms always put everybody else first, but i'm learning, you have to make time for yourself. Being an ex-wife and single mom myself, i now say "happy mom, happy life" good luck!! feel free to add me as a friend

    I can't speak for all mothers, especially since I'm a guy...

    But my mom, and her mother, were 2 of the most amazing women I've ever known. I miss them every day. My girlfriend is also an outstanding mother. There is a selflessness in women that I don't often see in men (including me!).

    Welcome to the group!
