It wasn’t easy and took hearing a lot of “you look so skinny now”, “you lost a lot of weight”, “you look too small” comments to really push be to get out of my bad head space and push myself to eat and gain back my weight with even more weight.

Goal weight = 130lbs

People get uncomfortable when a mom chooses herself for a few hours.

A spa day.
A nail appointment.
Lunch alone.
An outing without kids in tow.

It’s framed as indulgent.
Selfish.
Unnecessary.

Like needing space from the roles we carry means we’re failing them.

But here’s the truth no one says out loud:

Taking time to yourself isn’t abandoning your family.
It’s returning to them as yourself.

It’s choosing to breathe without being needed for a moment.
To remember who you are outside of schedules, snacks, and responsibility.

We don’t need to earn rest by being exhausted enough.
We don’t need to justify quiet.
And we don’t need guilt attached to care.

Sometimes the most responsible thing a mother can do
is step away long enough to come back grounded.

Let’s normalize moms taking time without explanation.
Without apology.
Without feeling like we have to prove we deserve it.

Because rest isn’t a reward.
It’s part of staying whole.
