Frustration!

Yes, I am absolutely frustrated with myself right now.  I just uploaded all of our pictures from our vacation this week and am absolutely disgusted with the way I look right now.  I know, I know, I know... I shouldn't be so hard on myself since I just had a baby 3 months ago.


However, I know for a fact that I completely sabotaged myself.  In the beginning of my pregnancy, my doc wanted to be super careful to avoid a second miscarriage, so he didn't let me exercise at all.  I totally should have at least kept walking a treadmill, or doing something.  Because I wasn't exercising, I was eating anything and everything, regardless of the lack of nutritional value.  And now, I'm so used to eating the sweets that I'm having a harder time than ever giving them up... UGH.


Could've, should've, would've... those are all well and good, but I have to deal with the here and now, which is I have about 30-35 pounds to lose.  Yes, I know this will take time and a lot of hard work.  This, right here, right now is the beginning of that journey back to a happier, healthier weight.  I've done it before, so I know I can do it again.  




This is my official "before" photo.  I can not wait until my anniversary next year when I will be able to post my official "after" photo in that awesome red dress that is hanging in my closet.

  1. OK, for a good one, go back and look at your wedding pictures, and compare to NOW!!! :P
    Give yourself credit that you're not as bad off as you once were..., but decide to persevere towards your goal of losing this weight again. I'm going on over 7 yrs since I've seen 160, and yep, I lost a good bit of weight since my last surgery, but I've got to decide I'm going to get the rest of this crap off..... I've done good so far, staying away from sweets. Lets keep each other motivated!!!
