Wow! It’s Wednesday! The Fattest I’ve Ever Been (Again)
I’ve been in a celebratory mood for a reason, which might strike some as odd. I got on the scale a few days ago and discovered that I’m now at the highest weight I’ve ever been … before getting pregnant. That’s simply to say that I’ve finally reached a weight that I’ve been at before. I’m 10 pounds from my original end-of-the- year goal and 20 pounds away from my wedding weight, which is what I hope to reach before getting pregnant a second time.
I am at once happy that I’ve made such progress and stunned that I had never been more than 20 pounds beyond my ideal size before getting pregnant — why didn’t I appreciate that more back in the day? I still can’t fit into my pre-maternity wardrobe, but I will by this time next month. Dubious achievements.
Anywho, here’s a picture of my new(ish) god daughter, Zora, and the new(ish) me.
You are looking good! I know what you mean–I look at photos of me when I was in the Navy, and I can’t believe that I thought that I was fat. I mean, where was my brain?
That’s what’s so sad about it. I see younger girls worrying obsessively about their weight as opposed to enjoying being young and full of energy. I want to tell them to appreciate it more.
Who cares how much you weigh! You’ve had a baby for crying out loud! Betty’s not going to remember her mum having a belly roll. She will remember her mums cuddles..My tummy is my trophy.. Oh crap, what am I saying.. I hate being fat..
Hahaha, Sandra! I had many of the same thoughts. When I was in France, and the food was so glorious and women of every shape and size, I was like why lose the weight? Just enjoy life. But the fact is that we should all be exercising most days and eating right in general. Also, unlike with the last pregnancy when I had a desk job and didn’t have to travel, I’m going to need a ton of energy for next year. Between Betty and other commitments, I won’t be able to indulge myself. So it behooves me to be in the best shape possible by January.
oh, she is too cute. and yes, you are beautiful. for a moment there, i thought i had missed some very important news.
