Last night I really wanted to get some stuff off my chest and sort out how I am feeling about this slightly bumpy (LOL!) journey of mine and went to start writing stuff in my blog and got scared. When I first started this blog is was about me totally me- didn't care if it was ever read by others or not. It was a place to sort out my head and any other bits that needed dealing to. So last night I got scared off writing because of what I thought others would say, people judging me and my thoughts or feelings. So lying in bed last night I realised that hang on this place is for me and I am not competing on the best sellers list I shouldn't edit how I feel and what I write about because of those few whose mothers never told them that if they haven't got anything nice (or supportive) to say don't say anything at all (you know who you are!!). I love sharing my journey with others and hearing how other people are doing but at the same time I figure you don't like it don't read it!! How's that for "assertive" people! So for those who want to share this journey with me - love you long time and stay tuned as this is going to be a bumpy one....

Yep, I fully agree. My blog is for me, I write what I want - and I fully accept that since it is a public 'forum' - that people will comment, and I may not always like it. I always think if people don't want to read, or don't agree, then thats sweet - but I want to be open to comments too - positive or negative. Some people *no names mentioned, lol* get SO defensive if you disagree with them at all. Silly!
But I love your blog and love reading how you are going!!
Hunny you do what ever you have to do and say whatever it is that's on your mind. WHO CARES about other people. A blog is a diary a place to share your thoughts fears and dreams and who cares about anything else.
Definitely true. You can't make everyone happy and you'd go insane trying. I think that holding back on what we *want* to say is one of the reasons for the extra kilos being there in the first place.
I am in for the ride. I have my helmet and knee pads and will take the ride any way it comes.
I think that being a Mum is a tough act and one that doesn't give you a lot of space in your head for yourself. Doing what you are doing is fantastic and even if it is slower than others, it will bound to be faster than other others LOL. So go at your own pace, keep the spirit up, and you will find a speed that suits you, your lifestyle, and your body.
Hope that the ride does smooth out for you soon because really - this helmet does nothing at all for my hair :D
