Forgetting the Woman You Were

The weight scale is starting to come down again.  Since having my fourth child, it's been impossible to get the weight off because of my thyroid disease so it's been nice to see the weight come off now with my new thyroid medicine.  It makes me feel better in my clothes and revving up interest again in finding some pretty lingerie to sleep in again.

Between four children, two stepchildren, work and my health, it becomes too easy to forget to feel pretty about myself sometimes.  Losing weight is helping me feel like me again.  I used to be a fun "me" so it's nice to remember she still exists underneath all the daily "mom" needs that can sometimes swamp a mother.
