Had to get out the Spanx

in Miscarriage/Pregnancy Loss

I can't stand to wear the maternity clothes I so eagerly embraced when I fist started putting on a bit of that precious "baby weight," so today I had to break out the Spanx.  Those few extra pounds I was so excited to see are now my enemy and I hate them.  I've always had a problem with weight gain and spent some time in therapy for a form of anorexia when I was in high school and college, so the thought of gaining weight for the baby was really difficult for me at first.  Once I started getting more used to the idea (and found maternity pants!) I was okay with the whole thing... now I'm back to being miserable.

So here I sit at work, all control-topped, thigh-slimmed, tush-tucked in... BOOOO! No

    Lol...I totally get it.

    I lost all the weight I had gained overnight though with my m/c. And, although I'm usually a stress eater, I haven't had much of an appetite since (strange.  very strange, for me)... but at least Spanx exist, right? :-)

     Ugh... this was my expectation but apparently I put on a little more than just the baby/fluid weight.  Next week its back to the gym!

    Yup. I hate looking and seeing the "baby weight" I gained while pregnant, since I have nothing to show for the extra pounds. I got into Zumba and have been dieting like crazy to get it off.

    I gained weight before i got PG this time so I have no excuse for it.  But I have lost almost 10 lbs during and after my M/C because I am not really eating at all.
