You can do it! I creept over that nasty 200 pound mark this summer (again!) and I'm training for my 3rd Half marathon. (I finished 2 of them in the spring around 190ish)

For me, it's so not about being hot. It's about showing my girls that it's normal to eat fruits and veggies, it's normal to exercise, it's normal to be healthy.

I've have a horrible relationship with my body since I was 10. I don't want that to happen to my girls.

I love it ... and I love you! Why not take it a step further and call yourself FitMommy? Relate to yourself as what you are becoming and that is who you will be - you are a beautiful person inside and out!

What a wonderful post. My first time stopping by here I can't wait to come back when I have more time to read older posts.

I myself have begun to change my lifestyle & it feels great.

I love the name change. In so many ways you are already a "Hot" mommy!

Connie, I feel as though it were me writing this post. Everything you've touched on is exactly what I've done over the years. I too grew up with someone who called me names my entire life--it's hard to get over such emotional abuse.

You are a wonderful and beautiful person. We cannot undo the past but we sure as heck change our attitude for the future.

Even though I've always struggled with my weight, I've always grilled me children about the negative health aspects as a result of it. Our 11yo dd is fit and athletic and could care less about modeling after girls she sees on television and magazine cover. She's never once asked, "Mom, do I need to lose weight?" I wish I could say the same of when I was her age.

I hope you have a terrific weekend. Your post really touched me today.

Hugs ~ Sandy

I hope to be a mommy one day, too. I know my mom blames herself for my battle with weight, but I would never remotely consider her to have anything to do with it (other than genes ;)) You're doing great!

you know I love it.
I adore my daughter and yet am painfully aware DAILY how she looks to me for how to be a woman...and she doesnt even realize that yet.

yea

shes 3 and Im already kinda dreading puberty :)

is that wrong?

What a great post Conny! When reading it I thought to myself: I want that too!

I want to be fit even though I don't have children but I'm 41 and halfway through my life. I've waisted about 13 years of it being too heavy and not exercising at all or just a little.

I want to be fit and I want to go out for a long walk or maybe even a run when I'm 75 or older!

So I'm with you! Let's work together on being fit and I'm sure while we're on that road we will lose weight along the way!

Thanks for inspiring me Fit Mommy to be!

What a touching post Connie. You're right...weight loss lasts when we change what's normal (because we can always do what's normal.) And I think it's incredible that you want to do this for your children and yourself.
Though I'm not a mommy, I did recently become an aunt. And I don't want to be my niece's "fat aunt." I want to be her cool, New York aunt who takes her shopping, sailing and for walks around the city when she visits. :)
I'm with you Connie...let's keep up our good work..!

I think you're on the right track, Connie! I think looking good, or "hot" is a by-product of taking care of yourself, or being "fit".

Your kids already have LOTS to be proud of with you as a mother and role-model. The fact that you want to change your lifestyle for YOU and so that you can be a healthy example for your kids, is wise and loving.

Because of my kids' health issues, I want them to eat right [indulge moderately], get plenty of fresh air and movement, so THEY can live a long, healthy life.

Clapping for YOU! XO, Chris

Love it!!!
