I think maybe that part of it is that things like looking perfect become less of a big deal as you get out of the teenage years. I'm glad you shared your depression and eating disorder journey - I don't think there should be such a stigma attached to those things, and I know your post will be encouraging to someone else who is struggling!Callie Nicolenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6357532756325404499.post-21770965755109202672013-06-25T21:44:30.846-05:002013-06-25T21:44:30.846-05:00You are so brave to be so open and honest about yo...You are so brave to be so open and honest about your struggles. I love you and Aaron's love story though and had a big smile on my face reading it. I'm totally stealing the Found You lyrics from you. I find them very fitting as well because my husband came back into my life at the absolute perfect time. <br /><br />I too am just now feeling like I'm settling into my skin as a woman and a mother. Having two kids close together and shoot just being a new mom period really does suck you in completely. Twice now I've had to come to the realization that I have to take care of me too. It can't be all taking care of the kids and husband and leaving myself to the side. It feels good to love and take care of me too!<br /><br />Good thoughts and good post!Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15276887523192938533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6357532756325404499.post-69452155329549728352013-06-25T19:44:35.748-05:002013-06-25T19:44:35.748-05:00I think this is a great post.

I struggled with depression through high school and it wasn't til I met my then boyfriend (now husband) in college that I finally broke out of that and could finally appreciate myself for me.<br /><br />I think that it's great you are happy with yourself now. I struggle with that, because I never lost all the weight from my pregnancy. I finally started running, and I'm down 5lbs from when I lived with my MIL and to me that is huge. It doesn't seem like much, but I think I'm finally getting more happy with myself. I think that's important. Of course you don't have to be perfect, especially after having kids, being perfect is hard. But it's important to be happy with yourself somehow.Allison O'Hernnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6357532756325404499.post-76364961615765744432013-06-25T18:46:43.992-05:002013-06-25T18:46:43.992-05:00I couldn't relate more to this postSo importan...I couldn't relate more to this postSo important to find yourself as a mother. Moms are so much more than a mom. I'm still in the "finding myself" phase. I think I'm pretty much there though. I discovered I enjoy running and crafting. Now if I can carve out the time to do these things more often ;) Malanda @ Outnumbered by Little Boys! https://www.blogger.com/profile/13567382518903706048noreply@blogger.com
