I just look in the mirror and feel disgusted, I'm a newly single mom of 4 and I guess I've just sought comfort in food. I literally have one pair of jeans and leggings that fit. I'm constantly exhausted, I have one child at home full time and then my day is filled with cooking, cleaning and attending to my youngest. Springs approaching and I'm no longer going to be able to hide under large coats and woolly hats.

Intermittent fasting, stopping drinking alcohol really helped me lose weight. I didn’t have to take out anything from my diet and was able to still enjoy foods I loved. With back to back babies I’ve gained some weight and just found that it’s a season buy clothes that fit. I just bought jeans hate shopping for them but my one pair were about to give. I had to go up a size and remind myself it’s a number and I’d rather be comfortable then not. I’ll definitely go back to intermittent fasting when I’m ready. Trying to mentally prepare as coffee will have to wait lol and I love my morning cup.
Start small and start wherever you feel ready good luck 🫶🏼 self love journey isn’t an easy one.

Growwithjo is a great home excercise channel. She's a mom too. I've been struggling with weight and body image too. I recently started carving an hour out of my day to focus on physical fitness. Whether that be in the gym or at home with my 5 And 2 lb weights. You got this mama!
