    I honestly think that's what happens to most of us. That, and not being properly educated.

    Its an age old problem, women always put themselves last! Good on you for taking steps now - this is a great site to motivate and there's always someone to listen and help. Its good to know you're not alone!!

    Good luck in your journey and remember to forgive yourself for the odd slip - I do!!

    I relate! I forgot myself when I had kids many years ago, and I've forgotten myself now starting a business. Last two years worked to build it and now its going, I've looked in the mirror and wondered what happened! Too much food on the run, munching at the desk and unmindful eating. No exercising on top of it. Glad to be back though! Hired a personal trainer to help me get back in the habit of exercising each day and have this to monitor my food. It seems like a long road back, hopefully I will get there.

    You've made a great start!! I think one of my first steps will be to reduce the size (and number) of the mirrors in my house ha ha!
