@lesliecfitness: I finally found myself after starting my fitness journey 💜 After my third child I was the heaviest I have been in my life. I no longer recognize the person I seen in the mirror, and I joke around saying I could feel the old me screening to get out. I was depressed, zero energy, I wasn’t happy and smiling all the time like I use to. I didn’t have any hobbies anymore. “I was just a mom” Don’t get me wrong being a mom has been the best gift of all time and I cherish is dearly and thank god I was able to have 3 healthy babies! But I lost myself. & i think it’s so important as a mom to do things we enjoy outside of motherhood. If that’s reading your fav books, going to book clubs, having a girls night once a month. Something that fills YOUR cup up because we are constantly filling everyone else’s. 💜 Fitness became my outlet!💪🏻 I lost 50lbs yes but I gained so much confidence with in myself. Confidence in how I looked, how I felt, I felt stronger than I have ever felt! I showed myself that I am strong physically and mentally and can do hard things! It also trickled into everyday life, I felt more confident out in public, in my work space, in my relationships. It can open new doors into your life where you might or not felt confident enough to start when you were heavier. It effected my kids! I have so much more energy to pokey with them! Instead of sitting watching them play I could actually get up and run around with them! I also had a horrible relationship with food. Carbs were evil, calories were evil, and I binged at night. I learned to fix my relationship with food and no longer look at certain foods as bad or that I can’t have. I have more food freedom and it’s made the process so much more enjoyable! I know you feel lost right now but starting a fitness journey isn’t just about losing weight or looking a certain way. It’s so much more than that! You can find yourself again!💜 #momstruggles #momproblems #weightlossformoms #momof3
