"Own your new mom body" is what online therapists say. I say, "WTF; I want to fit back into my little white jeans."<br /><br />Congrats to your amazing 30 pounds.

And she weighed AS MUCH AS I JUST GOT DOWN TO THIS WEEK!!!!<br /><br />sigh.<br /><br />Now I feel really fat.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07450478735416602458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5906209974269076373.post-44146910927981749752009-07-20T14:25:01.325-05:002009-07-20T14:25:01.325-05:00I know exactly what you mean. Somehow, I just los...I know exactly what you mean. Somehow, I just lost track of things, and before I got pregnant with Violet I was about 70 lbs overweight. I just never noticed it happening. I lost 15 before I got pregnant because I thought that was what was giving us issues. By the time she was born and I did the post birth 3 day pee (you know, the one where you literally urinate out 15 lbs), I was down 25 of those, but shut in with a baby (and we couldn't breast feed) put about 10 of those back on in the first year.<br /><br />In February I decided I needed to try and do something about it. But it's been such slow going that it's hard for me to feel good about being lighter and healthier than I've been since probably 25. Instead, I just keep thinking that there's still 35 lbs to go. 5 lbs a month is good and healthy and slow and just what you are supposed to want, but I still feel big and cumbersome and like I'm never going to get anywhere.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07450478735416602458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5906209974269076373.post-60376418727188929342009-07-19T17:09:08.969-05:002009-07-19T17:09:08.969-05:00Being comfortable in your own skin is a battle, I ...Being comfortable in your own skin is a battle, I do it everyday. While I am bigger than I was when I met my husband, I am starting to be okay with the way I look, but still wanting to change it. <br /><br />I hope next weekend is a success for you, that you are able to become the woman you want to be.The Fritz Factshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05162992338469733361noreply@blogger.com
