Uggg, I'm fat!

After getting excited about getting back to my prepregnancy weight within a few months postpartum, I am on the rise again. And it's not that I've gained weight (I'm 5 pounds up) but I've gained inches. (sigh) My hips are huge and my belly is seriously sagging.

I can say that I have been seriously stressed lately with Stephen acting up and Brenden screaming all of the time. I turn to food as a getaway or destresser. And it's not really what I eat but how much and when. I tend to eat late after everyone else has gone to bed or if I eat during the day, it's just all the wrong choices. When will I ever learn?

So, today is the day. Start to focus on what I need to do. No more shopping in the plus sizes. I  am no longer embracing my waistline but rebelling against it.  Walking, walking, walking will be my first form of action until I get the go ahead from my dr. next week.

YEAH

I finally made it below 190!!! I can't believe it. Funny thing is, I stopped going for my walks for the past two weeks. If I hadn't, I'm sure I would have been a lot closer to my goal. But now I have 19 pounds left and I feel confident that I can do it!!

Hello

  I am determined to lose this extra baggage that I have lingering.  After the birth of my son in June 2005, I had done nothing in attempt to lose the baby weight. In May 2006, I decided that I had had enough and I wanted to do something about it. I simply reduced my portion sizes and started walking. If I am lucky, I can go for a walk 3 times a week. It ranges from 3-5 miles each walk. I feel so much better after I walk!! It is an awesome stress reliever.
