I used to not care what I put in my body. If it tasted good I'd eat it. Then when I got pregnant it got worse and I ate non stop no matter what it was. Then I gained 65 lbs and none of it came off after I had her. I looked at my parents and saw all the medications they take and how they eat and I know their health issues is because of their weight. Then I looked at my innocent beautiful baby and I told myself she needs me. I'm the only parent she has and I need to be healthy for her. I started eating right and exercising everyday and I felt really good about myself. I felt like a different person. When I first started I couldn't even walk on the treadmill for more than 10 minutes cause I got so out of breath and had to go smoke a cigarette. I recently quit and I RAN for 30 minutes today. It's not an hour but it's enough for me to know I'm going in the right direction. I finally feel good about myself knowing what I'm doing for me and Shaylie. She's my motivation. And I'm determined to be fit and healthy for her.
