Hi! I'm Shellie, a stay at home mom to four beautiful children (ages 8, 5, 4, 2). Yes, they do keep me pretty busy.
I've been married for almost 10 years to an amazing man with a British accent...yes, be jealous.
Anyway, I'd love to join y'all, if you don't mind. The path that brought me here has been a long and bumpy one. Some bad things happened in my life when I was pregnant with my 2nd child and things kept going downhill from there. I hit the bottom when I suddenly lost my very best friend to a brain aneurysm. To say that I fell into quite a depression was an understatement. I was eventually diagnosed with PTSD. I never went anywhere, did anything or even left the couch. I gained 100lbs due to my inactive lifestyle and I had two more children by then, so the baby weight just packed on.
Fast forward to now where I'm finally coming out on the other end. It's like I'm waking up from a long sleep, look in the mirror and think, "Ohmygoodness, who are YOU?". This is not who I am or who I want to be. I'm ready to take my life back. I know my best friend is cheering me on from Heaven and my four children would like a healthy mom. My wonderfully supportive husband is joining me on my weightloss journey. He did my aerobic DVD with me last night and we giggled and laughed the entire time.
Anyway, thanks for joining me on my quest to find myself again. I'm excited to see what new things I might discover!
Finally ready to do this!
to 3FC Shellie!
