Ugh.

The past few days I have been feeling so fat. My collar bones have disappeared and my arms have really gotten round and plump. And one of my technicians told me I was really getting wide. Um, thanks. 

Am I going to be able to lose all this? Can I do it? Will I ever be fit and thin again? End whine.

Yes, yes, and yes.  You'll have to work for it, but still.  Yes.

WTH people say the dumbest ish to pregnant women, how insensitive of the tech.  If you put your mind to it i'm sure you will lose the weight.  Don't let this bother you especially now unless your doctor is concerned.

9 months on, 9 months off, that is my motto. It might be hard at times but it can be done, not all in the blink of an eye but in time.

Its ok.  One of my doctors looked at me today and said, "You look really puffy today".  Gee...thanks.

My co-worker gained 60 pounds when she was pregnant. She went from stick figure to Michelin Man. And then she had her baby and went right back to stick figure thin. In other words, don't despair - it doesn't matter how much weight you gain / water you retain, it IS possible to lose it all after baby comes

Definitely possible to lose it again. I gained almost 40 with DD, and probably between 6-10w pp I was back down to pre-preg weight. Not pre-preg shape, that never came back, lol, but then again never worked to get it back. This time I might make more of an effort if I wind up gaining that much again!
