Sometimes Food Is Not the Enemy

I remember listening to an India.Arie video on You Tube in which she talks about as a song writer you appreciate other song writers.  Sometimes you hear a song and say, "Man, I wish I had wrote those lyrics."

This is how I feel about the post I read last week on The Crunk Feminist Collective. I wish I wrote those words because it speaks so much to my struggles and struggles of so many women who think that making time for themselves is a crime. . .  I gave myself a minimum of six months to make sure I have 3 hours (three times) out of the week for myself.  I choose those three hours to be the gym because experience have taught me that if Momma is happy, everyone else in the household is happy.  I'm Momma, so I'm working on my happy. . .

My favorite line in this post is, "I have a date with my damn self!"  Enjoy!!
