There are some very fortunate women out there (a.k.a. freaks of nature) who snap back from having kids like a rubber band to their svelte pre-pregnant bodies. I,too, am like a rubber band but more like one of those bands that has been stretched around a dusty file folder for too long, is all dried out and won't go back to its former shape no matter how much you want it to. No, I am not one of "those" women. However, I do happen to know a few and when I think of them I get all bitter inside.
Therefore, I shall not dwell on how blessed they are but shall celebrate my own successes as fully distinguished and separate. Which leads me to announce that after 6 weeks of healthy eating and exercise I have reached my first milestone: I have lost 12 lbs!! I know, it's not all that impressive. The weight is coming off slowly but it's coming off. Only 30 more lbs to go...ugh. Man, I feel like a burger.

I sure feel your pain! I am not one of those women either and am currently on a big South Beach push hoping to see some results though the fact that it's been a week and I haven't lost a single pound is sure getting me down.
ReplyDeleteYa, I'm getting really tired of salad! You will lose - it's hard to be patient when all you really want is for five pounds to melt off in the first week.
ReplyDeleteWork work Jane! Keep it up! If you need a walking buddy, I would love to go!
