having a minor moment adjusting to body image and lifestyle that lead to this.
in my 20’s I was fitness mad, it was my life and my hobby and I’ll admit I went to the gym before work, and again after work for something to do, abit of a social if you wish.
Im now mid thirties with a baby (under 1) and as most of us find, the childcare takes priority.
I love my baby and my home life with partner but there’s a small part of me that wishes I could have all the time I used to have.
Looking in the mirror feels like I’m looking at someone else, I’m trying to keep up a lifestyle of healthier living but baby comes first and I like to prioritise quality time with my partner which leads me to feeling abit deflated.
I know it’s ‘normal’ to grieve your old life but i
miss the way I felt in my old body with the confidence.
I don’t know what I’m trying to gain by posting this, either a sense of reality or a little support if anyone is feeling the same really.
