weighty issues

I try to find peace with my weight. Most of the time I have pretty good self confidence. I can still get knocked very quickly by certain people in my life. But as you know I have had 2 babies in the last 2 years. So your weight becomes topic of conversation. So last night I looked back. Before I had kids and after my physical where they told me what I should weigh Jerry and I took pictures and made measurements. I dug out the old photos to see where I was to that point. Jerry was almost exactly the same. Me, for the most part smaller. My arms, but & legs smaller, my waist the same. I was shocked. Now I have worked hard to loose my baby weight after both kids. I am happy to say I can gain 45 lbs in 9 months and take it off plus some in 6. Breastfeeding has to get its props in. I am sure there is no way I could loose it that fast without breastfeeding, diet & exercise. Today we are going back to the gym for sure. Everyone is almost healthy and I am dying to go back. So I am going to try and loose 6 more pounds and do a whole lot of firming up. Then when I am not burning 500 calories a day nursing I can work really hard not gaining it back. I love food, and wine, and beer, and coffee with lots of sugar. I have my vices. But I really enjoy taking the kids to the gym for a little me time on the treadmill. So hopefully they even each other out. Its nice to hear family tell you that you look good. Its even nicer to fit into small sizes. Well here's to more hard work ahead and a smaller butt.
