You say no to that.

A few summers ago I was really sick, like affect quality of life and ability to get up and go about and do things, even simple things, such as parent my kids. I got creative, they got creative. And we made it through. While we were making it, I suffered guilt because this was not the childhood I had planned for them. When we made it through, I swore I’d take care of me. I’m not sure which came first, the chicken or the egg, but my kids are just as committed to good health choices as I am. Something good came from a bad thing that happened. And we’re all the better for it. It’s not making lemonade out of lemons, this attitude. It’s taking a challenge and building up from it. When I chose to have kids, I chose to live for more than myself. And that right there is a key to making good decisions that affect my health in a positive way. overall, that’s a great way to choose me, this attitude. It definitely works for me on lazy Saturday mornings.

    Too adorable! I think this is what Choose You is all about – yes, put yourself first, but do so that you can do an even better job of taking care of others!
