You do work outside the home. Don't sell yourself short!

-another fitness instructor who doesn't call herself a SAHM![/quote]

I don't understand the 'sell yourself short' comment. Identifying as a SAHM to teaches fitness classes is less than someone who identifies as working at a gym?[/quote]

I don't think I'm selling myself short. The 5 hours I teach while all 3 kids are in school don't qualify me as a "working Mom" in my books. That's just me, though. It's more of a hobby than a job, and I think that I would be insulting Mom's who work 40 or 50 real hours a week to self identify as one of them. If others want to call themselves working Mom's if they work 5 hours a week, no harm no foul. I mean, I volunteer 5 hours a week too, but would hardly call myself a full time volunteer, either. To each their own.

I stay slim mostly due to genetics and a lifetime of being an athlete. I played sports through college and have a small body type. I'm short and have an athletic frame. I work out 5 days a week at least, for 60 minutes at a minimum, and practice yoga daily, for between 30 and 60 minutes on top of that. I could eat absolutely whatever I wanted and weigh 10 lbs more, or watch what I eat (lower carbs, watch my alcohol intake) and weigh 115 at 5'3.[b] FOr me alcohol is the biggie. When I have drinks I crave carbs and junky food the next day,[/b] so I try to really keep it to a minimum (I've noticed this more and more as I've gotten older, so I've started to cut back on drinking). [/quote]

This is me.  I'm 115 but I watch drinking I'm closer to 109.  Alcohol makes me binge eat and also get depressed. [/quote]

Same here. Alcohol ruins my sleep, makes me binge and makes me depressed. [/quote]
