He at least is a regular at the gym but anyway we were talking about how we feel soooo much better just eating healthy but somehow that crappy food makes it's way in, leaving us feeling like crap and with a negative outlook on ourself and our bodies. We are trying to overpower those extreme unhealthy eating urges we get! It is soo hard!KellyHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07756774967175684222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6163723747440481981.post-33359142009812718302011-07-29T11:29:28.999-07:002011-07-29T11:29:28.999-07:00first of all, you are GORGEOUS!! for reals. :) ...first of all, you are GORGEOUS!! for reals. :) also, i love the idea of a health challenge..i think we all need it, I know I do. love to you bloggy friend!sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17292981329816076944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6163723747440481981.post-45489683323931634252011-07-29T09:30:05.616-07:002011-07-29T09:30:05.616-07:00Hahaha I want Laura's hair too!

I've always been a big weight watchers lover but somehow after my 4th baby I just don't have the brain capacity to keep up on that. Right now I'm doing a detox that is giving me much more energy but I have yet to add in excercise.

I've always struggled with self image problems even when I was a mere 100 pounds. I work out all the time now, but food is a major comfort/reward thing for me. I am a sugar girl too. I'm working on and plan to read Made to Crave after just hearing about it a few days ago. Love your honesty in the post. I think it reached a lot of us struggling with similar issues.Katie @ minivan divahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17461717433497663204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6163723747440481981.post-52240837566778275902011-07-27T18:45:31.269-07:002011-07-27T18:45:31.269-07:00Oh Heather - you are adorable exactly how you are!...Oh Heather - you are adorable exactly how you are!!! That is my objective opinion, as I don't really know you. :) I grew up with a mother that was constantly dieting and overly concerned about what her body looked like, and I know that can take a toll. It definitely gave me some body image issues!! All we can do is be healthy and set a great example for our kiddos--and from reading this post I am sure you are doing just that! :)Gretahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13678221019546045834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6163723747440481981.post-39270034135457469352011-07-27T18:12:36.904-07:002011-07-27T18:12:36.904-07:00Ok we should totally be BFFs.

Book on the subject of filling our emptiness through food and anything else we turn to rather than God)and have been trying to make healthier choices. And just tonight our pastor spoke on our bodies being the temple of the holy spirit. Ive known that. Ive heard it a thousand times. But with all that Ive been feeling adn going through lately it really struck a cord with me.<br /> Your post is just another confirmation. Im so glad I found your blog recently!Handbags*and*Pigtailshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04610743416170257873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6163723747440481981.post-55422578797585929932011-07-27T16:48:43.549-07:002011-07-27T16:48:43.549-07:00You are beautiful inside and out!

(i do own a scale and the number thing can be discouraging most of the time) I love how you give God the glory even through dieting!
