How have you changed...

Great question... Spirtually: Trust is a big thing, we have to trust in ourselves and know the decisions we make for our kids are the right ones, so yeah Id say Ive learnt to have trust/faith in myself more than I did. Emotionally: Well, honestly, I had severe postnatal depressions so I wouldnt say Im more stable, well Im all better now, but its taken time and treatment. Id say Im a lot more considerate now. I have to think about things (words and actions) before I say or do anything. And I never realised I could love someone as much as I love my son :) Physically: Ive experienced the same heightened awareness about my body. At 21 things are sagging that shouldnt lol, and I have gone from a size 6-8 AU to a 12-14. Ill also never wear a bikini again let me tell you LOL. I also had a problem with retention after child birth so that opened my eyes to a few things, and made me more grateful for teh physical abilities I have and the control I command over my body...

really, ive changed a lot. when i was in highschool, i was this "crazy nice girl" who wants everything to be good, organized especially when it comes to friendship. ive expected so much from people's promises that iv forgotten my self-worth. i know, things change, so do people and yet, i was still hoping that everything will be back to normal.you see, i was the one who's willing to give up my own hapiness just to save a falling friendship! I WAS WRONG! i was hurt and i promised myself that i will never be like that again when i go to college. and I DID! that was then i became a happier person!i started to accept things at it is altho reality bites!but i guess thats the wat it is.. and then from a happy person, again iv changed.. when i found out that my dad was having an affair with another woman.. my heart ws full of rage! i want to get wild with life but then, i remember my mom! and God. i will not make things worst for them. i tried to get back to my old happy self. miraculously, i did. because of the inspiration i got from my friends, my siblings, my mom and God. i totally forgot about dad, i just dont care about him anymore! altho, still im trying to forgive and forget the things he has done. all i can say now, i become a strong woman altho sometimes, i still cry when things go bad. after all, were just human, we feel.. but move on! play along! that's the way it is..

I definately watch everything that I do now, because I have a little girl that wants to mimick everything everyone does. So, I'm more aware of my surroundings. I know this is going to sound funny--but, I would hear a noise or a creek and before I had my little girl-- I would get freaked out.. but, now that I have her-- I'm totally ready to kick anybody's A** that would try and get between me & her. Like you, I'm definately a lot more healthy. I run & eat better. I know she picks up on everything I do so I want her to have good habits to pick up on. I'm also kinder to people. I guess having a little one-- makes me more sensitive to other's & their situations because she brings so much joy & happiness into my life.

Since I have become a parent, smaller things have meant more to me. I tend to pay attention to, and appreciate things like smiles. I don't think I could be the same person I was before and have a child. It's definitely the most rewarding "job" I've ever had.

Well!I have become more responsible.I try to be the role model for my kid.I have become more patient in dealing with her problems.I have become more tolerant and last of all my ego has reduced a lot!
