[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The women who have the nerve to say “I let myself go because I actually love my kids and spend time with them” are so annoying. This is called DC urban MOM. Probably 95% of us here have kids. You aren’t special. You do not prioritize working out or taking care of yourself and that’s why you’ve let yourself go. It’s not that you’re busy and we aren’t (everyone is busy) or that you love your kids and we don’t. You just don’t do it.

Op, I have two kids. I work full time as a teacher. When I turned 30 I started doing Bikini Body Guide workouts in my living room while my kids, who were 5 and 1 at the time, watched tv. That’s how I know women who claim they can’t work out because of kids are full of shit. Yes you can. I did.

I eventually went back to work. I get up by 4 am every single day. I either work our in the morning from 5-6 or I do it when I get home from 5-6. It’s a habit now four years later. I go in my basement and work out.

I eat well 80% of the time. Again, anyone can do this. Some choose not to. They’re not better than anyone else because they eat like hell.

I dress nicely because I work hard and like to. I don’t slum around in yoga pants and baggy tees. It’s not hard to put a little makeup on and take care of your hair.

I don’t do this for anyone but me and that’s probably the main predictor of who will let themselves go and who won’t. I care about myself enough to want to be strong and healthy and capable. I like to look good for me. I’m not willing to compromise on that and then look in the mirror and hate myself.

Make time or don’t. Give a shit about yourself or don’t. That is all it comes down to. [/quote]

Well you kids watch TV and getting up at 4am is psycho. [/quote]

I go to bed around 8:30. Get up at 4, drink coffee, read websites, plan or grade for the day, then workout. Your idea of psycho is just kids watching 2 tv shows and basic ass normal self care and being on top of stuff. [/quote]

Bed at 8:30... r u 5 years old... No sex typical DCUM... but I get my workout in.  :lol: [/quote]

I go to bed early... so I can wake up early..... and get shit done.

A SAHM who won’t leave her kids alone for 5 seconds so she can justify being overweight and skinny might not understand how that works. Also, I never said I was married so pretty weird of you to assume I’m in a sexless marriage because I bother to workout. [/quote]

Oh here we go ... you are a SAHM hater. Okay... that makes sense. Okay super woman, show everybody how great you are. You give the rest of us WOHM a bad name.

Oh your not married... that is why you work out. [/quote]

I’m not at all. But someone who won’t even let their kids watch tv and mocks a working mom for having to get up early to work out to fit it in is clearly out of touch with how most of us have to squeeze this stuff in. She chooses not to but she needs to quit slamming people who do by claiming they feed their kids Lucky Charms in front of the tv and ignore spouses (NOT ALL OF US ARE MARRIED BTW!) if we work out. [/quote]

IRONY... don't mock somebody who is mocking somebody because they would rather be with their kids than doing a workout tape in their living room. [/quote]
