For women who have had to juggle careers, parenting, marriage expectations, community involvement, taking care of their own aging parents, being sleep deprived, there is not a lot of time left in the day to tend to themselves.
This article is dedicated to women, particularly mothers who have devoted their lives to others and have lost touch with themselves in the process. Men may wish to stop reading now, but I hope they don’t as they may have some renewed understanding and empathy for the mothers in their lives: their own and the mothers of their children. Many mothers take their job of parenting so seriously that in the process of taking care of everyone else, they forget about themselves.
Our society has a belief that to be a mother, you have to be selfless - translating into "less care for self than others," which often leads to "no care" for self. Families will take as much as mothers will give and it is very important for mothers to know their limits and make time for themselves. I have had comments made about my own weight gain, and even though I eat healthy and exercise regularly I am still lumped into the “she let herself go” category because I am about 20 pounds heavier than I was a few years ago. In addition to being extremely busy with raising a teenager, being a civil servant, running a business, taking care of my own aging mother, running a farm and my household, I hit that time in my life where my hormones changed and my metabolism shut down.
