Great video. I went through the same thing as you with trying to figure out how to put myself first. It is very important. At five months out, I am learning that I am still not ready to eat my meals with the rest of the family. It is just too tempting. It works best for me if I plan my meals out and prepare them separate from the family meals.
I needed this video! Great Idea.... I tried to download the list and had issues.... Boo hoo. The font on the list was small and I couldnt read it....Id love some ideas.
Way to go getting back on track, Jen! I find it's hard when I'm at home for the day. I can see how difficult it would be working from home. Losing weight with or without the band is quite a process, isn't it? All the best! - WEndy
WAY TO GO!!! As a stay at home mom our world revovles around food- what's for dinner, what's for breakfast, lunch etc. I hear ya. I am a stay at home mom of 3 and a wife. I feel that we all can benefit from healthier options so all of our meals have changed. Also I buy snacks for lunch for the family that I don't like ie- little debbie cakes, etc. OH- I fed my kiddos veggie burgers the other day and didnt tell them- heard THESE ARE THE BEST EVER!! lol....have fun with it Jen!
As a large family I find I can tend to put myself last if at all as well. I am going to start doing that.. Shopping for myself seperate from now on. We are getting ready for a large move to our home that is finishing being built so lots more pantry to use for me. WOW a yr has gone by fast!!! You look great. I am a mommy of 7 and grandma of 6 and a wife on top of it so I hear ya. This journey changes us.
priority # 1 has to be YOU! it is not always easy, but mommy and wife role will be 110% happier and better suited to tend to duties after Jen is the #1 priority. it requires taking the time to speak with your husband about how important it is to love you first in order to love him first. i think many wls peeps fail to do this and they suffer on the journey. the journey is a lifetime.... you may not believe it but EVERYTHING is better when you are #1. try it for 30 days and compare! dare ya
