Chloe - great post. I absolutely relate to having an identity, and wondering if you're selfish or shallow for putting time in on your own goals. I'm not lean and doubt I'll ever look like you, but still...
FWIW, I had an identity / career plan. Then I had my DD and things changed (LONG story). After my DS I didn't work at about 8 years, then I went back to school for a new career. I just lost my job after almost 5 years in that area (3 with that company). So... now I'm at a turning point - do I want to continue in the same direction or find yet another new path? And who am I now that I'm at home (at least for the near future)?
