When Paul and I got married, I had lost a bunch of weight. I don't honestly remember how much but it was a bunch and I looked gooood. And, of course, I bought all these clothes that would fit on my skinny butt. Alas, I got married, gained the "freshman 15 of married-dom" and my skinny clothes didn't really fit. However, my pre-skinny clothes still fit. Maybe not as well as they should have but at least they fit.
Fast forward a year or so. I got pregnant, I gained 30 pounds and had a baby. Oh, and my hips took on proportions that are normally preceded with a "wide load" sign. Ten weeks and 5 days later, I've lost the 30 pounds but those pre-pregnancy clothes do not fit. Some of them fit, kind of, but there's this unattractive roll that hangs over the waist. I know, what a visual. Oh, and my hips still require that wide load sign. I mean, they were wide before I was pregnant but this is ridiculous, how do I get them back to "normal?"
OK, so I haven't really been eating all that well and haven't given up the incredible sweet tooth I developed while pregnant. I have been eating better (minus the 8000 calories I ate at the Super Bowl party) but I guess I haven't commtted fully to the thought of losing weight. I think I would actually do much better if I never left the house and didn't go anywhere they serve food.
Perhaps if I put my committment down on "paper," I'll be more dedicated.

Wide Load my ass! First of all, congrats on only gaining 30 pounds. Secondly congrats on losing all 30 pounds by 10 weeks, especially when you have retained a sweet tooth. Thirdly, it's only been 10 weeks, your body probably hasn't readjusted itself back - I would bet your bones are still not settled into their former positions. I know you are ready to be back in your old clothes, and it seems like forever, but really its not.
Now, when you have an older toddler like me, and you're still carrying around "baby weight", then you have a problem. :-) Maybe I'll go drown my sorrow in more Moose Tracks frozen yogurt!
