[quote=Anonymous]I've let myself go and has just started picking myself up again after losing a lot of weight.  OP, it's good that you are thinking about this now, I wish I have before having kids.  PPs are correct, having kids can age you, and women tend to make themselves the last on the list when it comes to tending their needs.  I think it starts to happen postpartum when you are tired and all you want to do is have a proper meal and rest, and then that becomes a habit, because by the time you go back to work, everything becomes a juggling act and you always have to adjust to something new when you hit milestones.  I don't regret having kids, I just wish I knew how to take care of myself then and it should have been part of my routine because these past few years, my mood and my self confidence definitely dwindled up to a point where I don't like looking at myself.  So, looking back, this is what I would have done:

Built in daily exercise.  It doesn't have to be long, if you don't have time do 10 minute high intensity exercises throughout the day.  This will help keep your energy up.
Eat healthy by keeping healthy food at home, treat yourself once in a while but don't make it daily.  Do not snack all day long, it becomes a really bad habit.  Drink more water.
Take a short mental breaks even for just 5- 10 minutes, deep breathing.
You can actually do a less than 5 minute makeup routine!  You just need powder, lipstick, blush, mascara and eyeliner!  You don't need to look like professionally done.  Do this first thing in the morning when you dress up.  This small routine makes a big difference for me.
