We should empower, but not belittle!

Something has been bothering me a lot lately. I have seen and been the backlash of a lot crap talking. Women belittling other women. To be specific, I'm talking about the topic of being fit. Since when has it become a crime for a woman to want to  better herself and become more healthy? And who are "you" to judge that fact?

I understand that life happens. And it may not be on everyone's agenda. Some people may be happy with themselves. Some may be battling a deeper battle. And some of us just like to feel good.

I'm quite tired of hearing "you skinny bitch", "must be nice to have time", "you're so lucky", etc. I would never put someone down for being the complete opposite.
First off I am not skinny, I weigh 138 lbs and have curves. Second, I do have time. I paid my dues, I raise and stay home with 2 (sometimes 3 kids) and I believe it is my right to be able to utilize the time they are at school to focus on me. Lastly, I am lucky. I know that. But I also make the time and commit myself to being better than I was yesterday.

I will be the first to admit I have envied other women for their ability to do "everything" while looking good. But I also have done a lot of soul searching and have had to learn to be happy with who and what I am.

I would never in a million years put down a woman for trying to better herself. That is something that should be praised. Instead of putting each other down we should be building each other up! 

So with that said, I will keep posting my pics and I will keep "like"-ing yours too! We are on this
journey together! :)




Keep on keeping on,
