As I watched the day 2 videos I found that it all resonated with me. The mirror was the first thing that really hit hard. I don't even need a mirror to bash myself. My lack of confidence in most things gets me in trouble. I will make a concerted effort to kind to myself while being realistic at the same time. The second thing which made me think quite a bit was the statement, people have the same ability to grow. The third thing was the 4 boxes. It reminded me of my relationship with my husband. I have high expectations in general and I struggle when those expectations are not met. I rarely see the part that I have played in situations. With these 4 boxes in mind I will try to have that mindshift and start to put ownership back on myself not the other person involved. -I get to walk. -I get to play with my daughter. -I get to drive 2.5 hours to see my parents. (It's not my parents, it's the drive.)

Hi, my name is Kelly. I am a mom to a beautiful 4 year old and an Elementary School Teacher. I have gained a lot of weight over the past few years, more than I ever wanted to. A hard realization came about a year ago when I was at Busch Gardens with my family. Trying to go on some of the rides was difficult because the lap bar or belt would not fit. Try explaining that to a 3 year old who loves rides! I would like to lose weight and get healthier so I can be there for my daughter and fully participate in family activities. My biggest hurdles would probably be stress and meal prep.
