I know I felt so guilty for leaving Elle at home as I went off to zumba when she was first born or simply had to leave the house and go explore target ALONE!!! But, I had to remind myself that by taking care of myself is what will make me a better mom. Do not at all feel guilty as you embark on this journey. <br />PS: You should share some of your WW recipes posts here and there.Cherry Blossomshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11369408515701153796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3022379986965485655.post-47168289159461190732012-06-01T15:29:12.447-04:002012-06-01T15:29:12.447-04:00I really love the honesty of your blog.

It took me 8 months into my 2nd child's life to get over the "guilt" I felt when I did something for myself that did not revolve around my child. Some how, thru the bliss of becoming a mom (although we all know it is not ALL bliss!), I forgot about taking care of me. It was very hard to reason with myself that I too was just as important as my children. Going to the gym and leaving them in daycare wasn't a sign that I wasn't a good mom, it was a sign that I understand that taking care of myself was just as important as taking care of them. And in doing so, I really came to understand that a happy mom is a good mom. Kudos to you Jennifer for realizing this in 6 short months! And good luck on your journey to finding your balance!Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04443563082316032461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3022379986965485655.post-6675701258320754132012-06-01T08:52:18.371-04:002012-06-01T08:52:18.371-04:00You can do it!
