Hey Peeps,
I love this topic and i have a feeling it will be a three part series as there is so much to talk about regarding the matter.
This happens to a lot
of us mostly the female gender, when you stop giving thought, time and effort
to your appearance once you snag a guy, your thinking will be like why do I have
to bother after all I am married so there’s no point been on point.
A lot of people have
fallen victim to the pains this mindset can cause and come to think of it what
were you expecting to happen? When you were single, you went all out to look
your best, paid attention to your hair, nails and dressing now you think
because you have gotten what you want you should just sit still and enjoy it
without making an effort to keep it together???
I do not understand why
we change once we walk down the aisle, it annoys me to see beautiful ladies
that looked like Cinderella in their wedding dresses to turn into the ugly step
sister all in the name of marriage, When the person you are married to met you,
he /she saw something that attracted them to you; you need to find out what
that attraction is and make a conscious effort to maintain and constantly
improve on it even after the kids come and age sets in. the fact that you are
married is not an automatic license for you to gain weight, become a couch
potato or lose focus entirely in the beauty and health department (my dear that
is when the real work begins).
As a single lady I loved
my bum shorts, short dresses and high heel shoes that’s one of the eye catching
things my husband noticed about me and he encouraged me in them even while I was
pregnant I still rocked them very well. What annoys me mostly is when we as
women start having kids, we now lose sight of caring for ourselves and
concentrate fully on the baby and this happens without you knowing it, it just
creeps in and all of a sudden you now look like Ugly Betty.
I was almost sucked
into that percentage of women but thank God for my husband and other strong
women around me. I learned that when you are at this stage of your life the
only people that can help you if you are willing to be helped are those people
closest to you; note that most of them may not want to advise you because of
the fear of how you will respond to criticism.
I love my job, the
environment and the women (mothers with kids and still look on point at all
times) I interact with on a daily basis, it’s a matter of shape up or you shape
out……..you see women that have been married for 10 years with kids and they
look as hot as a model and you that just had your first child will have to do
what it takes to get back in shape because you have role models to look up to
and the beauty of it is that they encourage and give you tips.
My advice to you is surrounding
yourself with great minds, beautiful women that have achieved more than what
you have and learn from them, it makes your journey easier as you are a product
of your environment.
Be wise, stay focused,
in shape and healthy.
