in review {2011}

in the year 2011

we had...

a big move across the country

our first family vacation experience

our car breakdown

lots of date nights with my husband:)

and we...

moved into our home

experienced our first (and hopefully last!) ambulance ride

spent a few days in the hospital with the baby

(thanks a lot RSV)

started preschool

turned one

celebrated weddings and babies being born

it was a hard year, but it was a really happy one too.

One of the things I'll treasure most is the moment that came sometime in December.

When I realized that I am ok.
Something clicked into place when I accepted myself.

I see my potential.

I'm more comfortable with my imperfections.

I love me.

My body isn't the enemy.

I am not the enemy.

I had gotten so caught up in being "good" or "bad" that I lost sight of WHY I was trying to make changes.

 I don't need to loath everything I am now in order to drive myself to become the person I want to be.

Even if I never lost another pound I know that I have worth as a person, but I know I haven't taken care of my body and that's going to take a lot of work to undo the damage.

I hope you'll follow along :)

Here's to a happy and healthy 2012!
