Weight Loss

After getting back on track with a few kicks in the butt from some great girls that I know, I've started losing weight again. I'm down about 4 pounds from 2 weeks ago. It hasn't been easy but I'm sticking to it. I tend to be an emotional eater and when things get rough at home, I look to food for comfort. I wish I could say that I've been doing this all on my own, but I can't. It's been a huge struggle for me. HUGE struggle, Sumo wrestler sized struggle. I've been on a roller coaster this past month with my weight. Up and down, down and up so that when you compare my weight to what it was this time last month, I've really only lost about a pound. Normally, this would be discouraging to me, but some how it's not. A friend asked what my total lost was and since I started weight watchers on Feb 20th, I've lost a total of 14.8lbs. My total weight lost since K was born almost a year ago is about 55 lbs. Another great girl I know told me to look at this way, those 14 pounds make up 56 sticks of butter and the 55 pounds? Well that's 220 sticks of butter. Now that is also sumo wrestler sized HUGE! Can you image carrying around 220 sticks of butter? I can, and trust me, I don't want to ever again. 

bad picture, but this is me at
A's frist birthday

I was looking at pictures a couple days ago from A's first birthday party. I was over 300lbs and only 2ish months preggers with K. I look huge, uncomfortable and miserable. 

Then I have a picture from the end of February when I started Weight Watchers and I still look huge and uncomfortable, but not so miserable. I really need to get an updating one and maybe I'll do so later today when J gets home from work. It's nice to see the physical difference I can feel. My pants don't fit anymore. I know I've gone down at least a size in them and I really need to get the stupid sewing machine out and take them in. My tops are a different story. I went shopping and grabbed some 2x's and just for shits and giggles grab a few 1x's too. Well guess what... those 1x's fit. I was shocked. That makes two sizes down for my tops. 

So needless to say I'm still worried. I don't want to roller coaster anymore, I was to see the 240's by this time next month. I'm getting sick of the 250's. Wish me luck!
