Dear future me....

I just want to write a little note to my future self, since the mood seems right today. 

I feel good today. I took a shower and got out without babies, even wore (mostly) clean clothes. I caught a glimpse of my silhouette in my dress, with my braided leather belt cinching my waist. And for once, I didn't shudder at it's sight. I marveled at the soft curve of my hips post twins, and even noticed how my waist has gotten slimmer since last I paid it notice. I guess chasing two toddlers around can be thanked for that. I may still be "plus sized", but today I feel totally comfortable in this skin. I just thought that was a moment worth noting, since they seem so far and few between.

*I found this archived in my drafts file and felt like it was worth posting. The goal to get to my pre baby size has been an uphill battle. Fortunately, dragging your body uphill tends to burn calories :-) I may not love my body as much as I should every day, but I do respect what it's been capable of, and that seems like a good starting point. Just 13 months ago I had my girls, and yesterday I randomly decided to step on the scale. I was down almost 20 pounds from my last visit. So to add to my previous Q&A post, it may take time, but when you're able to nurture yourself, you will start to lose that baby weight. And doughnut hole weight....Step away from the doughnut holes! They are NOT your friend!
