Been slackin'

Sooooo, this blog has really taken a hit lately.  Or for six months.  Take your pick.  At first, I excused it because I was pregnant and tired.

Here's my big, beautiful pregnant belly the day before I had my son.

The honest truth is that I was about to get into a very tumultuous time in my life, and I didn't want to face it.  I started this project because I struggle with my body image every single day, and have since about fourth grade.  I want to make this blog a place of healing and comfort for anyone who may feel the same way.  Do I need to continue to dredge up the past to do that?  I don't really know.  What I do know is that I want to continue this for my girls.  I want to project a positive self-image for them so that they will never feel like there's anything wrong with their bodies.  I think what I'm going to do for now is address my current struggles.  Four months after baby, the weight isn't going anywhere and I'm frustrated.  So I have plenty of current fodder without facing those middle school demons just yet.  Maybe one day I'll be ready for that, but today is not that day.
