A Mommy kind of day.

Aug 27, 2010

Just having a Mommy day with my little man. He is currently feeding his lunch to the dog.  I am waiting to pick up my daughter from the bus stop. She told me this morning "Mommy, I wish you could walk me to the bus stop like the other mommys." My heart sank. I guess she could tell how this made me sad and quickly add "but its ok, I know you have a lot of pain."  I gave her my best smile and told her that it was ok, because mommy will be walking her to the bus stop real soon!  The sad part is, I felt how my obesity had affected my child. My chronic back issues have seriously decreased the distance I can walk as of late. I have severe stenosis of my spine, herniated disc / degenerative disc disease, and something "broke off"  and floating around my spine. I have had alot of back pain since I had my son two years ago, but since the end of July I have been in severe pain and it hurts down my leg.  It doesnt help that I have fibromyasia. I know after surgery I will  again be able to walk, even run with my kids. I have made a list of things I will do when i loose weight. When i get a little down hearted or discouraged, I take out my list and read it! I know that taking care of myself and setting a good example for my children is the greatest gift I can give them. Looking forward to being post op and on the road to a healthier me!
