One year before pregnancy
I told myself I'd be the same
me just a mom
I had no idea how hard pregnancy +
gestational diabetes + PPD/PPA
would hit me
I gained 100 lbs
during my pregnancy
despite eating well and
managing my GD
Two months ago I
decided enough
was enough
that I had to start
living life again &
losing the weight
In those two months
I've prioritized myself &
my health
And I'm finally feeling
a flicker of my spark
come back day by day
And I'm just
getting started
