in Introduce Yourself
Hi my name is Krystal and I am new to MFP! I am starting out on my weight loss journey to a new healthier me! I am a mom of 2 little cuties! A 3yr old and 3 month old! I have forgotten how important it is to take care of myself and have realized I AM WORTH THIS! I have recently joined back at the gym and am dedicating this time for ME! Would love to have some friends on here for inspiration and support!!!

    Welcome and congratulations on your decision to start taking care of you!! I raised my kids on my own and though they are now 25 an 27 I learned the terrible habit of putting myself to the side and I, like you, have decided that I am worth this. Have you ever thought about how flight attendants tell us to put the oxygen mask on ourselves first, then on our child? It makes sense when you think about it....it we don't take care of ourselves, we will eventually not be able to take care of the ones we love.

    I am pretty new to this too and I am enjoying finding friends.....we need all the help and encouragement we can get!!

    I'm new too! Welcome! It's so easy to take emphasis off of ourselves when we have kids! My kids are 9 and 7 (and AWESOME!) and they are great encouragers, but it's so easy to get wrapped up in them! :) I'd love to be on your support team! It's IMPORTANT and YES! You ARE worth it! Way to take the first step, girl!
