I have the same struggle and my hat goes off to women like you and Samentha (another woman who shared her story on BWLW) who have children but are SO determined to be a healthier version of themselves that they don’t let ANYTHING stand in their way! I was feeling sorry for myself the other day after I made dinner for my sons. I was wishing I could eat what they were eating. I believe that is what makes it harder when you have children. When I was single, I could better dictate what was in the house (healthy food) and what wasn’t (junk food). But my children live off of what I call “kiddie” food. Mac N’ Cheese, chips, cookies, etc. And I can’t afford to buy them healthier options. I also don’t want to eat that food, no matter how “healthy” and “organic” it claims to be. I know it isn’t going to help me.

Women like you make me feel that I can do this no matter how much I have to do for my sons in the morning/night. I need to carve out time to workout and make sure I am eating healthy meals.

Thank you for your story. Take care!

U look fabulous!! I’m so SO VERY happy for you! I am officially inspired. I’d love to chat to hear more about your journey and how you did what you did while being a single mom. I need more encouragement. Like you, I work, but I only have 1 baby and I have a husband and can’t seem to lose more than 7lbs since March. I want to lose the rest (93 more) by Oct 2014 – I KNOW I CAN DO IT but need some motivation. Please write back when you can…thanks so much and REMAIN BLESSED!
