For years, I quietly blamed and resented my daughter for my bulging waistline.
I know how bad it sounds, but my stomach remained flabby and round for THREE DECADES after giving birth.
I tried spending all my time in the gym and cutting out all the foods I enjoy. Despite my efforts, I only managed to shed a pound or two occasionally. And unfortunately, I always ended up adding back what I lost and more. I tried out countless weight-loss programs, but none of them worked for me!
Did it help that I was under an incredible amount of stress attempting to balance motherhood, homemaking, staying fit (HA!), and chasing a career all at once? Absolutely not!
