I waited 9 months for the baby now how long do I have to wait for the baby weight to go?
Unfortunately for me, you never know – but it’s very important this time around that I lose this baby weight in a timely manner. The gestational diabetes dictates that I stay at a healthy weight for my size so I’ve got some work to do. No problem, really. I joined Weight Watchers.
A few years ago this would have been hard for me to write about, but you know what? This is my skin, and I like it. I’m not ashamed of myself, although my bust size really, really bothers me … but that will go down in time, too. I am feeding another human being, so I can be realistic about that.
I really don’t have an issue telling you all my weight and where I want/need to be but the problem there is – then it becomes about the numbers and it’s not about the numbers. If I only get half way to where the charts say I should be and I’m healthy and happy then I don’t personally see any reason to try to look like a teenager. I am who I am. I weigh in every Monday and I’ll probably do a small post about it to keep me on track – and have accountability. So far on Weight Watchers I’ve lost 4 pounds.
Who else out there needs some cheer leading in this department? Let’s do this together! Being healthy is never shameful – no matter your size or the number on your jeans. If you feel good, then you look good – period. I will totally be on your band wagon if you let me know you’re in this fight, too. There’s absolutely no way I’m going to willingly be at risk for Type-2 Diabetes. That is not an option for me.
Lets take our personal health by the horns and get it right, who’s with me?
