Truth is...

I often wonder if I'm doing a good job as a Mom.

I know I shouldn't...but I compare myself to others.

I eat to make myself happy.

I need to get on some Anti-Depressants or I'm going to end up in a bad place, again.

I've decided to turn a corner and try to correct the previous 2 statements for good.

Mostly because I am fat. I know it. I hate it.
I feel like it is tearing my life apart
.

I also think it's probably one of the main factors in my depression.

I want to be proud of what I look like, not just of who I am.

I can't do this alone, and I'm scared to death that I'll have to because no one cares.

I'm lame and want you to like me.

I don't really know why.

Truth is... I could use a few extra kind words today.

Thanks.

Oh Haley - hang in there! You are NOT alone! In one of my posts this week, I wrote about how it's easy as moms to think we're the only unperfect one who feels like a failure sometimes...when, in reality, we all struggle and NO one is perfect. We are all human, but, if we are in Christ, we are REDEEMED humans. And, I too struggle with my weight...in fact, it's something I want to seriously work on this year too. Email me...or call me...I'm here for you, friend!

So sorry you are down. You are not alone - believe me. We always want more for our kids than what we had... I too am an emotional eater and know I am in a place that I have to lose or else.
don't be hard on yourself... just the fact you worry makes you a good mom and person.
Love to you
Kelly

Sweet Haley,
Don't be too hard on yourself! I totally get your frustration and desire to make a change. Find people to rely on to encourage you instead of get you down. Thinking of you!
