Still Me 💕

I’m a momma of 4 now. I had my 4th baby 9 years later after my first 3. I used to be into lifting weights and was training to join women’s heavy weights competitions. Got pregnant & ended up needing an emergency C-section. It was not an easy recovery like I was used to having, I couldn’t lift weights or even a car seat. I fell in to a depression hearing I wouldn’t be able to workout for 2/3 years to allow my body to heal properly. I met a wonderful momma who showed me what I needed to do safely. So I built me a home gym in my garage. My mood & mental health have been so great! I feel like me again and I’m happy again. Specially learning to love my new body. I love fitness and being active with my kids. I love taking them out, hiking, swimming and just exploring. I love seeing their little minds work and answering their questions. Finding me was hard this time around but atleast I know what I could overcome and it’s made me so much stronger as a person!

Same here!! I worked at a warehouse for years and I ended having to leave that amazing pay and go back to customer service and way lower pay :weary_face:

So I’m focusing on getting myself back to that asap lol

I’m glad you learn to love your body again! I really think we put too much pressure on ourselves. By your photo, you look great and you should be proud of what you accomplished!

I have put so much pressure on myself! It’s so hard having to accept our new bodies when it didn’t snap back. Thank you for your kind words :sparkling_heart:
