Still fat so might as well get pregnant again..

in Babies: 9 - 12 Months

i am so disapointed in myself. I am still carrying 15 pounds of baby weight. My goal was to lose that by the time we tried for baby #2.  Well, we are going to start trying this fall and I am still so fat.  I just cant lose it.

I wanted so badly to have this weight off me for many reasons.....for my health and new baby's health, so i could look good while pregnant and not start out already fat, and be in better physical shape to keep up with a toddler while pregnant.

so..i am sitting here hungry and trying so hard to stick to a heathly diet but i feel like saying "whats the point of losing it if your just gonna get fat and pregnant again anyway"

Uh...I hate myself right now. i wish i had more self control.

    You can still do it, don't give up. I think many women do and just have another  baby and then gain more weight that they never lose. I won't TTC till I am back to my normal weight.

    Try weight watchers and the 30 Day Shred. You won't regret it! 15 pounds is not bad at all, you can lose it Mama!

    Thanks!  Its awful because I know the exact reasons while I am still fat (they live in my freezer and pantry). I just need to suck it up and be strong.

    I feel your pain!  I am starting 30 day shred tonight though, in hopes of losing at least 10 pounds of the 20 I still have to lose before I'm pregnant again.

    Nope.  You just need to get that shiz out of your freezer and pantry.  I don't maintain my weight (which is the result of a 40-lb weight loss a few years ago) through self-control.  I maintain it by not having anything bad in the house to gorge myself on.  If I feel snacky and my choices are pretzels and hummus or a fiber one chocolate chip granola bar (these are the "junk food" in my house) it's a lot harder to get fat.

    If I keep naughty food in my house, I eat it all.  In like a day.

    So that's a start, and then just start moving and burn some calories!  15 lbs doesn't really take that long, you can totally do it before fall. 

     

     

    THANKS! This is motivating. And thank you everyoen else for letting me vent and responding!

    Dont worry!!! I still have 10 pounds that I can't shake. I'm eating well and rounded, exercising often (or at least as often as I can) and am fairly active. While everyone is telling me that I look fabulous, I still see where that extra pudge is and I hate myself for it. BUT DON'T WORRY! We just have beautiful new mom bodies. A little extra weight isn't going to ruin how our husband's see us, or how anyone else does. And as long as you are eating well rounded (pregnant or not) and playing with your kids (pregnant or not) and doing active things, you're living healthy even if there is a little extra weight. YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL AND WONDERFUL AND 15 POUNDS WON'T CHANGE THAT !!!! :D

    I don't have any "baby weight" to lose, but I need to lose about 15 pounds too. I actually weigh 5 lbs less than when I got pregnant with DD, but my body looks way worse. I'm currently off of birth control and I am in the same boat, I've given up on losing the weight before I get pregnant...what's the point when I'm just going to gain 40 lbs again?
