Mirror Mirror on the Wall....Holy Moly!

Early morning shower, baby still asleep, kids getting ready for school, the smell of coffee permeates the air...it's going to be a great day.  Stepping out of the shower I catch a glimpse of my naked body (at least I think it's my body) in the unusually large mirror in our bathroom.  I have to admit, it is sort of a downer to see how much my body has changed and wonder...Will it ever look the same again?

I teach fitness classes and run a nutrition program and throughout both I preach to women about loving their new body.  Focusing on what my "new body" will look like will be harder than I thought.  Finding a healthy middle place to see my image in the mirror without criticizing my appearance but celebrating where I've been and what I have to show for it.
