It's funny how you never realize how big or overweight you are until you start pulling all the photo albums and see all the pictures of you and say "wow"! I have always had problems keeping weight off! I have 2 sisters and they are lucky they did not get the fat genes. They never have to worry about what they eat. I hate that I can not enjoy food and not gain 10 pounds! When I first got married we didn't have a care in the world I guess because we where young! I would wake up make breakfast for my babe and I of 10 eggs, pancakes and bacon on the side. Eat a snack in between breakfast and lunch and then cook a huge meal for lunch. Snack again and then a massive dinner usually late of night of fast food! So needless to say that within the first 2 years of being married I gained way over 50 pounds! I had lost so much weight after hig school working at a grocery store sacking groceries and carrying the groceries out to their car. Only to gain that and more back. I did not care. My babe loved me and I did not care how he looked either. Kids come and it is even harder to loose weight. Your body is never the same. I mean never. I have struggles to get rid of this pudge on my stomach I acquired after having 4 kids and I still can not get rid of it. I hide it though lol! Today as i was clocking in for work a lady I work with told me are you still loosing weight I hesitated to answer because I feel I have not lost anything anymore. But, she said every time I see you I notice you getting smaller. NOT that you where big before. I told her are you kidding me I was huge, enormous, obese! She said i don't remember that! I told her come in my office I will show you pictures. I takw pride in always showing what my babe looks like. How he accomplished so much and lost 100 pounds. But, I never talk about me like I should I guess! I am always just a great supporter and I praise him for what he has accomplished. I looked over my phone and found a few pictures of what I use to look like and she said WOW! I guess I need to start giving myself a little more credit!
That is very cool! I never lost the 'baby weight' after my last baby.....but at least I haven't gained any more in the last 15 years! I count that as a win.
Thanks Michelle!! It is extremely dificult to loose weight after having kids. But, not impossible which gives me hope lol! I am starting to see a light at the end of the tunnel and it is shining bright for me!!!
