Taking control of your life

Do you ever just wake up one day and try to figure out what in the world has happened to your body? How can you gain weight so quickly and never really notice until all the sudden one day your pants are so tight you have to go buy a new pair because you can't wear any of your old ones? I wasn't quite to that point yet, but was getting close. I decided I have to take back control of myself. It's so easy to just let yourself spiral out of control. Not just weight wise, but just with life in general. We seem to get so wrapped up in the daily routine of life that we forget to remember who we are as individuals. You're a wife, a mother, a sister, a friend. You have a million different identities, but you're no longer an individual. I'm not saying that it's bad to be all these other things, but you do have to maintain a little of yourself and remember who you are and what makes you who you are.
