So i haven’t blogged in awhile i don’t know why i’ve had alot going on and for some reason even though i probably need to i haven’t been able to write. Its weird its not for lack of things to say its just a weird phase i go through. Anyways i’ll probably start posting more again. I hate that im so flaky even with myself. I have been doing pretty good with the weight loss ive lost 13 pounds since new years and im pretty happy about it because most of it has been coming off in the last two weeks which means im finding what works for me. I’ve been paying attention to calories and that helps me alot i cant believe how many excess calories i was eating in really quick amounts of time by going on snack binges. Now i am planning what im going to eat before hand so if i want to eat chocolate i make sure to leave myself room for a few pieces in my daily calorie intake. Its really great because i don’t feel deprived of anything and strangely im still always full even though im eating less. I have been eating a lot of whole grains so thats what really keeps me full and also helps me to not over eat. And i eat on much smaller plates and bowls since i realized that i will eat as much food as i have on my plate once i started measuring and seeing what regular portions are i seen that i would eat double portions of dinner just because my plate or bowl was so big and i don’t seem to have an eating turn of switch i would just keep eating way past fullness just because i love the taste of food, so now with the smaller plates i eat smaller portions slower and i get full but not too full. I feel so much better eating this way its so different than the scavenger style of eating that ive always had and i have so much more energy which i really need right now to keep up with the baby.
Here is a picture of me at Christmas
And here is a picture of me on Valentines
Sorry about the cleavage but it was Valentines
I don’t know if you can tell much of a difference i can some in certain areas my belly is still a little preggy looking but its getting better im pretty sure that no matter how much weight i lose i’ll still have the pot and thats ok i earned the pot and even though its ugly and kinda disfigured it created beautiful little people and thats alot more than my teenage six pack could do.

13 pds is wonderful! Your looking awesome hon. I also started watching my portions. Its really does helps to use smaller plates and bowls. I honestly think its an American thing to think we need these super huge portions to feel full, when we don’t. And as far as the baby pot goes, It’s beautiful. You have done something amazing with your body by creating life with it. Your doing great.
Congrats!
I’m almost back to my nice figure!! I still have 7 lbs. until my pre-baby weight. I’m going to go beyond that, so I still have 17 lbs. left. If I actually exercised, I’d be doing well!!
You look great!!!! I can tell a difference!
This is one nifty little site. I can’t wait to get back to read it. I know I owe you a letter and I’m going to write a proper one real soon. I’m actually sitting here wasting time on the computer because I’m avoiding the treadmill but this blog has totally guilted me into getting my butt in gear. (I’m in workout gear and everything but being too lazy for even these words.) So off I go and congrats to you because 13 pounds is crazy. But it sounds like you’re being really healthy so yay!!!
Hey, I joined, so maybe you can access me through this comment …..now I must exercise!!
that’s a really beautiful way to think about the post pregnancy belly. I need to have that sort of mindframe. I’ve so far lost 6 lbs since I started dieting 3 weeks ago, which is at least something, and I haven’t worked out a drop b/c we’ve all been sick, so that is from cutting calories alone, hopefully once I feel better I can get my butt moving! Congrats on the 13 lbs!
