not what i signed up for
the baby is almost four months old and in light of my still remaining prenancy lbs, i continue to hear this patronizing consolation.....but you just had a baby, it takes a while to get back to your old self. HA! what is a while? when does this excuse expire? each day seems to be a little bit less socially acceptable. so hear is the plan....again; stap on the "athletic" shoes, put the baby in her rediculously expensive pram and move my wide ass!
i vowed not to buy any clothes for my current size but wearing maternaty clothes much longer might just push me right over the edge! so i hit the good 'ole outlet mall today to find something cheep and in my size, bad plan, as it turns out my size is currently 16!!!!!! oh yea, let's just qualify this but the fact that my size a year ago was 6-8.
guess it egg whites for breakfast...i will keep you posted.

honored to be the first to comment on your blog!! congrats on beginning! love your writing style--i think we all (sisters) have a knack for it, but girl, strap on that spell check too! (it's the box that says abc with a check)
and by the way, i think that extra pregnancy weight "excuse" lasts way longer than where you're at now. from what i hear, unless you're britney spears, the most healthy thing is nine months on, nine months off. otherwise you're just crash dieting.
that said, hurrah for making some neighborhood use out of the 'pram' (i still have a hard time saying that). you have such a lovely 'hood for walking. and that's also going to help your back so much!
kudos for the accountability. you said your size. i know that's hard. love you!
oh, by the way, somewhere in options we need to find you the pop up comment option so people can still view your blog while they comment. i'll let you know.
Welcome to blogdom!!! I was going to comment about the spelling as well, but see Kitty beat me to it! Hey, am I the only sister that knows what the 'shift' key is used for? Can't wait to read more and I agree with Kitty that it does take time to drop the pregnancy pounds, I know, it took me almost seven years!!!
Thanks Abbie for your honesty! I love that you can write about something so difficult to deal with. I struggle with weight and have all my life. But it's simple right? Just change your eating habits and exercise! Yeah sure! Easy to say.... Actually your blog is motivating me to move my "wide ass" and try and lose some weight before the holidays are upon us! I'll leave you with that thought....Gia
