I found out I was pregnant November 28, 2010 and gave up on the weight loss dream for awhile. I did find myself eating better for the first couple of months but it tapered off more quickly than it should have. I fully expected to gain lots of weight during the pregnancy. I didn't. I actually lost weight until the third trimester and ended with an overall gain of 9 pounds. I feel good about that. My weight at time of delivery was 251.2. Now, 6 weeks later, I am 230.2. Not bad.
I've avoided pictures for a long time and especially during my pregnancy. Since he's been born, and I've lost 20 lbs, I don't avoid the camera as much. BUT... why do my mirror and my camera not agree on what I look like???? This is so frustrating. I feel good when I look in the mirror, but I want to puke when I see a full body picture of myself.... I'm glad I'm not the only one who has realized this... I found this online...
thank you for your comments. it is nice to know that there are others out there who feel the same way I do. I just felt like I wanted to give a voice to those feelings.
