1. I weigh more today than I did after I had the baby. I attribute this to my continuing to eat as though I was pregnant even though I wasn't and the "you need more calories when you are nursing" thing they tell you. I'm guessing you don't need an extra person's worth of calories--am I right?
2. I still prefer maternity clothes to regular clothes. I blame this on the clothing makers. They have made maternity clothes trendy and cute--not hideous tents like before. I can actually wear my maternity capris and jeans and they look like regular clothes--as long as you don't look at the waistband. Lucky for me, I can't tuck a shirt in to save my life so the waistband is always covered.
3. My maternity clothes are cuter than my regular clothes. Ask my sister---she'll be blunt and tell you. My regular clothes suck. I look more in-style when I am pregnant than when I am not. So, I look at my closet and the cutest things to wear all have tags in them that read, "Duo" or "Motherhood" or "Liz Lange".
4. My top half is obscenely large. I think boobs are gross anyway and then to have them big is even more gross. I can't get a top to fit me for anything. Thank goodness the flowy shirts are still in style or else I'd be in a cut off muu muu.
It was all worth it though--Mary is wonderful and I would gladly gain double the weight to have her.
OK, there is my rant on my body. I started Weight Watchers last week and lost 5.4 pounds. I am on my way back--watch out regular clothes, here I come!

Good job, Bek...We just don't have elastic bodies like the cute girls. We have stretch-mom bodies. It'll all work out. WE'VE got a big event to work towards in August!!!
Just remember, for most of us it's 9 months up, 9 months down. I've heard great things about Weight Watchers and how it's helped other friends of mine reach their weight-loss goals. You can do it!
ok, seriously...I have friends like your Noelle and whatever is all I have to say to them...whatever! You are so beautiful and it will come, it will come...on a similar note...what do you have going on in August that you have to work towards? Hmm...now that's got me curious...
It's Jer's 30th birthday in August. We want to be "thinner" by then.
At least you have boobs. that's all. bye.
no for real...you can do it, R!
