Disclaimer: Not my feet
It's under 3 weeks
until the baby turns one. Under three weeks! I'm not sure how I
feel about this yet so we'll park that thought and focus on the
problem at hand. Baby weight.
I didn't think I had
put on that much weight while pregnant. I don't think anyone really
thinks they've put on weight though - it's easy to convince yourself
that 'it's all baby' until the day you walk out of the hospital with
the baby in a car seat and you still squeezed into your maternity
jeans, your gorgeous firm belly now a deflated, squishy mess somehow
almost the same size as the day you waddled into hospital. This was
a surprise to me. In the back of my mind I was prepared not to
immediately spring back into pre-baby shape and size 14 jeans but to
still look pregnant was a shock.
Never mind, nine months
up, nine months down I told myself. Well, it's over nine months now
and although I don't look pregnant any longer I'm a size up from
where I'd like to be and still have a squishy belly.
We're having a little
birthday party for him on the weekend after his birthday with friends
and family and although I'm looking forward to it I am all too aware
this momentous occasion will mean photographs. Candid shots, posed
shots, shots of my butt as I bend over to pick him up. Shudder. Now
I understand that at best I will be able to lose 4 or 5lbs between
now and then but if that 4 or 5 lbs is no longer tightly adhered to
my chin(s) I will be happy.
So the resolution this
week (and until the party) is no sugar (yes, again!), only one
serving of wheat a day and to drink 3 litres of water a day. If I
can't look slim I will at least look glowing! And if I don't look
slim or glowing no-one will notice as I will spend most of the day in
the loo.
