Back at it...

I gained a whooping 50lbs during my pregnancy. It was crazy to me. I didn't gain a single pound until I was 22 weeks along, and then it all came crashing down on me. 7 months after the birth of baby E, I am 4 pounds heavy then I was when I first got pregnant... Not bad right? Considering I haven't work out until the last Saturday when I finally decided it was time to do something for me. You are all probably thinking that it is great that I easily got down to where I am, but let me assure you... I look nothing like I did before I had a baby. My tummy has loose skin like non-other. I mean, how could it not when I looked like this 3 days before I delivered...

She was pretty big, for me being so petite. In my last post, you can see what I look like now. If you follow the link in the last post to the posts on the very beginning of my pregnancy and compare the two, you will see that pregnancy did not treat me so well. I have stretch marks on my arms, my legs, my belly, even my crotch area. It is horrible. Which also means I have loose skin in all those areas as well. 

Anyways... I am writing this, because I am so proud of myself. I have been yo-yo dieting since I had Baby E but ALWAYS end up quitting within a week. Well, I think I finally beat the threshold and I have not worked out every day for a week, and have been following my diet plan that myfitnesspal helps me keep track of. If you are on myfitnesspal, feel free to add me: Cswainson924. Since I have started, I have lost 3lbs and counting. Not to mention. I feel amazing about myself. We can keep each other motivated. 

Here's to going from this...

To something I am more comfortable with! After all, its not what others think of you, its about how you feel about yourself.
