A year ago I wrote how I was approaching the 20 pound overweight mark. Well I am pleased to say since this time last year, I have lost all of the weight. Now, I’d guess you’d say I have a problem worth complaining about?? Here’s my problem:
- Summer 2004: Started trying to get pregnant. Stopped buying regular clothes in anticipation of needing maternity clothes.
- May 2006: First baby was born. 35 pound weight gain with pregnancy. I buy clothes for my “new” post-baby body and begin purging clothes that I no longer fit into and can no longer imagine fitting into again.
- September 2007: Back to pre-pregnancy weight!
- October 2007: Discover I’m pregnant with baby #2. Back to the maternity clothes!
- July 2008: Baby #2 arrives. Only a 25 pound weight gain with this pregnancy. Back to my “post-baby” clothes. Still purge pre-baby clothes as I really can’t imagine fitting them again. When did I buy such short shirts???
- September 2009: Pregnant with baby #3. Back to the maternity clothes once again! This time I have to buy more maternity shirts as I grew out of the shirts with a month left until babies arrival.
- May 2010: Baby #3 arrives. A 30 pound weight gain with this pregnancy plus the extra 5-10 pounds I started with. Buy a few more clothes that I can fit into without having to wear my maternity clothes anymore.
- October/November/December 2010: Life goes a little south and I eat lots of chocolate, cookies, candy and bread. Gain back what few pounds I lost after Lavender arrives. Clothes are getting tight.
- May 2011: Approach 20 pound overweight mark. Get serious about dieting and exercising.
- November 2011: Close to loosing all 20 pounds! My clothes are loose and a little sloppy. If I wear a belt, I have the lumpy butt look going on. I go goodwill shopping and buy a few pieces to get me through.
- May 2012: Lose all 20 pounds and am back to my pre-babies weight. What few clothes I have left are those that are a little big, a lot worn, or date back to pre-2004. In fact, the jeans I have on today are a pair my sister bought me for Christmas in 2001!
What a problem to have!
