Being a mom is a full time job in itself. While trying to balance taking care of my newborn, adjusting to a new schedule, struggling with sleep and a little post-partum depression, I've been forgetting the "𝘵𝘢𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘮𝘺𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧" part.
Sure, I've been eating right and exercising. But remembering to take a second to myself has definitely gone out the window.
While I love my baby and being a new mom, it's super easy to forget to love myself.
I'm not going to lie to you, it's been hard. Looking down and seeing the empty belly, the loose skin and the stretch marks makes it that much harder.
