I cried the first time I bought a pair of size 20 pants. I remember thinking that was as fat as I'd let myself get, thank you very much, and I was determined not to get any bigger. I did successfully lose weight and got into 16/18 pants at one point ... but eventually gained it back. And it brought FRIENDS.
Over the weekend, I had to buy new jeans. Nothing fit after the baby. The new jeans are size 24. *sniff* Also over the weekend, I accidentally came across my last pregnancy photo, taken the day I went to the hospital in labor ... I was blown away. I mean, I know I was huge, but I didn't realize HOW huge. And so my comparison shot today made me feel way better, even if I'm still bigger than I'd been before. So, for your entertainment ...36 weeks pregnant.
2 *months* postpartum.
And I'm down to 249 today, must change the ticker. I'm not tracking all the pregnancy weight since I got up to like 293 or 295 but 40 pounds came off really quickly as it was water weight and baby weight. I'm tracking from 255, which is where the weight stopped dropping dramatically. Whew.
