I hate when people poo-poo it like, OMG no you're not you look great, etc. etc. I think that although it's meant to be nice and not hurt my feelings, it's not doing me any good.
I had a baby, yes. But that was 7 months ago. Seven llooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnggggggggggggg months ago.
Now, I don't want to be skinny. I want to be healthy and not being able to walk up a few flights of stairs without getting out of breath and not fitting into any of my old clothes is definately not healthy. When i say not fitting, i mean I can't even get my pants up to my thighs. Not OVER my thighs, UP to. That means even my calves are fat!
I want to be healthy for my daughter and husband, be able to run around outside instead of sitting on the couch and watching her play. I'm not a lazy person but when you're carrying around an extra 60+ pounds it's almost depressing to try to be active because it's just too damn hard.
So these are the things that I want and how I go about it will be detailed out here. I need to be honest about how bad it has gotten. No more hiding it away, not looking in mirrors, rationalizing away the pounds (in irrational ways). I'm ashamed, now I'm going to do something about it.
Pictures don't lie:
Good luck girl. Having a baby changes your body in ways you never would have thought. I've dropped the weight but my hips are so wide! I hope you have great successes in your journey :)
