I'm doing weight watchers but I somehow managed to GAIN 2lbs this week. I am so discouraged. I am still in my maternity clothes and refuse to buy anything until I am back to my goal weight, which was my weight at my wedding 1.5 years ago. I only have 15lbs to lose but it feels like 1000. We are going away in Feb so I feel like I have a deadline. I have all these cute honeymoon dresses and I want to be able to wear them so badly. I will be so crushed if I can't.
I have to work around DH's schedule to get to the gym and soon it will be too cold and dark too early to take DD for walks anymore. I can't bring her to the gym until she is 4 months.
I know DH thinks I'm beautiful and sexy as I am but I am so not happy with my body. I hate having nothing that fits me -- most of my maternity stuff is summer stuff so I have very little and wear the same crummy things all the time. I feel disgusting.
Sorry, just needed to vent. I am so insanely jealous of women who are back in their regular clothes like 2 days after giving birth.?
Re: I want my old body back :(
I remember feeling that way. I tried everything, but the baby weight would not come off until around 5 months pp. Then it became so much easier- I don't know why. I know you have a goal (February), but don't put so much pressure on yourself. You didn't gain all that weight in a month, so it's not likely to come off in a month either.
Now I'm back to my pre-baby weight, but the skin on my stomach is bit saggy from 3 pregnancies. :-( If anyone has a magic cure for that, aside from a tummy tuck, let me know!
I hear ya. Today is my 3 year wedding anniversary and at my wedding I weighed 30 lbs less than I do now. I had a C Section so I haven't been able to work out yet and I also have nothing to wear. I am still wearing stretchy, comfy maternity pants and also refuse to buy anymore clothes.
I just have to hope that it will come off in time. You are not alone.
I totally hear ya (although I'm not sure I have much of an excuse given that Ben is 4 months today)! It's very frustrating because by the time dh gets home, either he wants to go to the gym or I'm tired. I suppose we could take turns, but then we'd never see each other.
I have 1 pair of jeans and a pair of capris and a few tops that I wear. Quite boring and I feel very frumpy.
Every night I tell myself that tomorrow will be the day...
