I let my self go.

Almost 13 years together & 6 yrs married….. and I let myself go! Like go-go. I’m so far gone that half the time when I look in the mirror I don’t even recognize myself- like I don’t.

Yes, things have changed. I’ve gained a little weight and traded my flat wrap in for kinks. Additionally, after the birth of my daughter I’ve gone up a shoe size and clothes just don’t fit or look the same anymore-So cute is the last thing on my mind! I go for comfortable; no matter what that looks like. Comfortable gets things done and usually in perfect timing.

My goal each day is accomplishing things that I’ve set out to do for others (my family in particular). And even as I approached this 6th wedding anniversary- I thought all of the things that I want to do for him; I wanted to dress up for him, be cute for him, wax for him, etc. Things that I should want to do any given day for myself to make me happy. That’s when it hit me that I’ve lost myself in others! I mean there’s nothing wrong with wanting to look good for your man or wanting to make him say, “damn baby”. But the reality is that I should really want to do these things for ME.

Now I love my baby, but I’m claiming these things back for myself.

“You can’t pour from an empty cup”. So I’m taking care of myself so that I am in the best position to take care of those around me.

Have you lost yourself in someone or something? Family, friends, or even work?
