"If you don't know your history, you're bound to repeat the same mistakes." While that certainly holds true for me when it comes to living a healthier lifestyle, I'd like to add a positive spin--you can also go back and look at the right choices you made.
Before I copy and paste my old posts, I'd like to share with you a bit about what happened. I'll spare you the excruciating details because all that really needs to be said is my marriage was going downhill and fast due to infidelity. When you go through my 2009 posts, you'll see I apologized for not blogging as much in April and then again around the summer months and September--I was an emotional wreck and things kept getting worse.
I tried so hard to keep on track with my blog and my weight loss efforts, but depression kicked my ass. I found myself hating everything about that year and wanted to rid myself of all reminders; in haste, I deleted Moms Fighting Fat permanently. It's a mistake I regret to this day--especially since some company came along and grabbed the same title for their website.
How are things now? Great! I'm happy to report that it's been a long, hard road with many changes but my husband and I have worked everything out. Our marriage, our children, our family has survived one of the hardest obstacles to overcome in a marriage. One of the most important things I've learned from the entire experience is this: with hard work and dedication almost anything can be fixed. I've forgiven my husband, I've overcome depression, and now all that's left to do is work on physical me.
I look forward to going through this journey with all of you again. For now, I hope you'll enjoy going through some of my posts from two years ago. I'm sure many of you can relate to falling off the healthy lifestyle wagon and an equal amount find it awfully hard to get back on it again--we can do it though, right?!
