If anyone ever said it's not hard to lose weight after having a baby, that's a sure sign that they're on crack.
Will just passed the nine month mark, and I'm maybe five pounds down on my weight immediately after giving birth. Granted, that whole process dropped twenty pounds alone, but there's another fifteen or twenty I'd still like to lose. It didn't help that we stayed with my parents for three weeks after the move, and my mother has a tendency to throw pastries and doughnuts and cookies at anyone who stays in the house for more than five minutes.
I've tried exercising, eating better, and flat out dieting, and I'm back down to my post-pregnancy weight, but I'm tired of none of my clothes fitting, I'm tired of still looking four or five months pregnant, I'm tired of not being able to even look at myself in pictures. Everything I've read says it takes nine months to put the weight on, allow nine months to take it back off. I've passed that milestone now, and I still hate having my picture taken. Dom's dropped bit of weight with a set of exercise DVDs he got in the fall, so I'm going to try something similar -- it can't hurt, I just have to find time to do it.
I'm fully aware that I'll never see my weight in high school again. I don't even really care about the numbers on the scale or in the back of my clothes. I just don't want to be ashamed of how I look anymore, and hate every picture I see of myself.
