so I woke up one day and I wasn't FAT!! my reality check

bearwench

I'm about to turn 43, I'm a single mom of 3. I woke up the other day and realized that I am as heavy now as I was when I was 9 months pregnant! I was as round as I was tall! My life is in the midst of changes and my weight needs to be one of them. I just want to loose enough to be comfortable with my own body. Side bar: I will never be skinny (I look ill), healthy for me is sturdy and curvy.

I'm about to turn 43, I'm a single mom of 3. I woke up the other day and realized that I am as heavy now as I was when I was 9 months pregnant! I was as round as I was tall!

That was my wake up call. At my heaviest, I weighed 12 pounds MORE than the day I gave birth to an 11lb 2oz baby. Ugh.

I gained 60lbs with that pregnancy - - I look back now and am doubly glad I invested the time and energy in myself to get back to a healthy weight.
