Don’t want my kids to be like me

I was overweight as a child, minimal exercise and fed adult portions and ended up really lazy and greedy.

of course my mum and dad tried their best and I had to go to older grandparents who didn’t drive for childcare so they also did their best. But I ended up being anorexic as a teen and still have a bad relationship with food.
I wasn’t happy. I was then diagnosed with Asperger’s at 14 so probably contributed to being unhappy I felt very odd and like no one understood me

I have a toddler (nearly 2.5) and a 5 month old. I love them so much and everyday I just try my best and hope and wish they don’t turn out like me. I’m still lazy now I’d say I’m antisocial and don’t have a friend group and I now would like to chill in my spare time but unsure if that is because I’m sleep deprived I did enjoy nice long nature walks pre kids. Still do but they’re not a straight walk now with a toddler haha! He zig zags and goes his own way

are your kids like you are/were? I’m really hoping my 2 don’t end up like me. I have an alright job but just never wanted to do much I think my only ambition is to be a the best mum to my kids
