Working Through It

I used to be lean. I used to be fast. I used to be strong. I used to have stamina. But two babies and a lot of depression later, my body is not the same. I knew I had gained weight. I knew my clothes were fitting more snuggly each day. I felt self conscious all the time.

Last week, my husband asked me if I'd start a diet with him because he has been exhausted each day since he started his new job. (Working for my parents) I told him I was game and now we're trying this Keto diet. We feel a lot better, but it's really hard cutting down so many carbs.

My parents are doing it with us and a few friends as well. My mom said she's lost 4 lbs and said it looks like I've lost some on my mid section. I went and weighed myself, the first time in a long time, and was heartbroken. The scale doesn't define me, but it does help me see why I feel the way I do.
