I think my 👖 size went up again. I’m sad.
In the big scheme of things, it’s not a big deal. But it feels like one right now.

Welcome to my blog! My name is Esther and I'm so happy you are here. I'm an avid nature photographer and a daydreaming thinker. My posts revolve around photos of nature's beauty, homeschooling adventures with my 2 kids, sporadic reflections on my child's heart condition, Bible reading reflections, gardening feats, and other mish mash things. Hopefully you'll leave encouraged, pensive, or smiling at the simple things of life. Thank you for stopping by and hope you'll find some interesting posts to read!

Thanks, Devang!! Your affirmation really helps. It’s true that we’re always changing and life goes through seasons, but it gets to me sometimes.
Hope you have a great rest of the weekend and thanks again. 😊

What goes up can come down, and you’re still a lovely person, Esther.

Thank you, Jo! Love your wording: “what does up can come down.” Yes, it can! I’m trying to shift my focus to better health than weight number and jean size. I have gained so much after both kids, that any number increase gives me heart palpitations.

I understand that. My scale broke last summer and so was without until last weekend of April. I bought a new one and when we got home stepped on it. Nigh on had a heart attack until it was pointed out to me that weight is really just a number and it has to do with how healthy you look. I admit that I am at what is considered a normal weight for my height and I have been at this weight a year after giving birth to T. But it was different then. Now it is muscle as I am far healthier. So remember weight is just a number. What did people do way back when there were no scales????

Being healthy is more important than a weight number! I refuse to get on a scale. It gives me a heart attack too and demotivates me. I’ve been eating more salads and been more active with the kids, but when the nurse checked my weight last month, no change. I was sure it would’ve gone down, at least a pound. 🙂 lol
That’s great you are healthy and have gained muscles! Health is way more important.
Thanks for the encouragement and support!

I have struggled this past year with work/life/parenting balance and my health has definitely been a lower priority. I agree that size doesn’t indicate our value as people but I struggle to accept this version of myself.

What goes up, will come down. Don’t be down with the ups! You are far more important that a constantly changing number my friend.

Thank you Cindy! I’m feeling better about it today. I decided to get new jeans that is one size larger. The solution is simple but the process of getting there was hard. Better to be comfortable than miserable, right?! How a number can get me down like that.
I like your wording: “don’t be down with the ups!”
