Does this sound familiar to anyone? I bet it does to a lot of you women out there. I LOVE and I mean I REALLY LOVE being able to solve a problem for someone even if it means putting aside something I enjoy. To this end, it also means I can't say no. Well, actually I did just a little while ago. I had to go to the doctor for a checkup and the nurse said I had to get on the scales. I DO NOT use the scales at the doctor's office. I know theirs are different from mine (heavier) and if I got on them I'd just get depressed. No matter that I weigh the same, it's the number that bothers me. Normally it doesn't, but I've gained about 10 lbs and an upset with myself because of it.
I keep saying I'm going to start going back to the gym, but I can't find the time. I know I have to make time for me, but I don't want to take time away from playing with my son. I have started walking in the evenings. We live in a neighborhood with a couple of miles worth of streets and I load my miracle baby into the stroller and off we go. He loves to go for a walk. So much so that he has started asking to go every night after dinner.
This of course leads me back to not being able to say no. If I could say no to more things, then maybe I would feel like I could go to the gym and still have plenty of time with my son.
