How This Crazy-Busy Mom Lost 50 Pounds in 6 Months
“I had to take stock of the habits that led to my becoming overweight and unhappy.”
My story started like so many other women’s: I couldn’t lose the weight after I had my first baby … and then I had more. Three more, to be exact. Oh, and I gained some extra pounds with each one.
It was hard to prioritize my health — after all, I had multiple small children and was busy running the company I’d founded, Mixed Up Clothing. I would eat on the run and just down my meals as quickly as possible so I could stay on schedule, pick up my kids on time, and take them to all of their extracurricular activities.
Whenever I had any free time, I would use that to do more work — exercising wasn’t even on my radar.
