Weighty Issues



After reviewing our pictures from the other day at the lake, I'm a little bothered by what I see. That coupled with the fact that I've gained five pounds, is setting off the alarms in my head. I can cover up the main problems when I'm bending over or holding my baby girl in front of me, but I'd like to get rid of my problem areas (belly, hips, thighs). A year ago I worked VERY hard to lose all of my pre-baby weight - I got down to the weight I was when I was 20 before getting pregnant with Bryce. So, I got to enjoy being 122 lbs for four days until I noticed my weight creeping back up ~ then the shock of my life happened ~ I was pregnant with what would turn out to be my forever BFF! I love that I have my sweet girl. but I want to lose my last ten pounds (that includes the five I've gained). I'm going back on my diabetic diet and I'm hoping to lose two pounds a week for the next five weeks. And just in time for my 31st birthday.

Bonks, you look great! I can't believe you gained so little in the first place. And Halea is still so little. Don't go crazy to lose the weight because she still needs a lot from you right now. Love you!!

Thanks, Tacho! The beauty of the diabetic diet it that you still eat a lot of fat, but you couple it with high protein and no simple sugars. I think I'm getting too old to crazy diet like I used to.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! I could show you so many fat pics of me, but you never see them. Conveniently, you only see the goodies. Thitho, you're beautiful. You always have been and always will be. There are so many women who look at you and practically covet what you have. I know it can be about a lot of different things like the way you feel and levels of energy and self-control, but for just appearance? It's not enough. You had a baby 3 months ago. I was still 30 pounds away from my pre-baby weight at that point. Be soft with yourself. Love your body for what it does for you.
