Why the title?

I am a mother of two wonderful children, one 9 and the other 2 and a half. It seems to be a pattern as I look back at the pictures of their 2nd birthdays. I remember seeing myself in the pictures with my first child and actually realizing how big I was. It was all it took for me to jump on the exercise bandwagon. With my second child I knew I had even more work to do (I am even bigger this time) but somehow when you see yourself in a picture it still manages to shock you!
So..... do they really make me fat? The answer of course is no. Does it take two years for my fat butt to realize I need to lose weight? No. It does however take me two years to hit my breaking point, I become overwhelmed with life, marriage, housework and motherhood. I see myself in those pictures and don't recognize the person staring back at me. I start to feel as though I have lost myself in that title of motherhood.
Don't get me wrong I love being a mom and I love my children but I won't say it is easy. I know I am not the only one out there who feels stuck in a rut and is having trouble with their weight. This blog is my venting spot and I hope it can be a spot where all of us chubby moms can laugh and cry together.
