Maternity pants accentuate my stomach postpartum so I don't know how so many people wear them months after having the baby. I need high waisted pants that suck everything in now. Lol
Ok, so this is me. Except I am still 30lbs heavier than I was before I was pregnant. SO…I go back to work in September and have no pants that fit me (I think I would be a size 14 now, or a size 16 - most of what I have is a size 8/10)…so my maternity clothes are what I have, because I refuse to buy new clothes while I try to lose. Because I am stubborn and convinced I can lose SOMETHING. Sigh.
I'm in a similar boat. I was a 10 when I got pregnant, the lightest I had been in years, and I looked great. Now I'm in a 12/14, and it sucks. I want to lose weight now, but I know I need to wait until D isn't breastfeeding much anymore, but I really want to get my body back.
Vacations kinda suck with a baby. Don't get me wrong I love going away with DS, but it was not relaxing Most of the trip he was getting up in the MOTN screaming his head off. I was exhausted during the day and now I am ending vaca sick with a cold. The one nice dinner out we did was so late that DH and I ducked out early because we were just so tired. (and by late I mean 10:30 because we are old).

I am not dieting but I am trying to eat well. Mostly I am exercising and trying to return my muscle to fat ratio back to where it was…in April 2013 I had 27% body fat - not great by any means, because I was about 10lbs overweight when I got pregnant in July 2013, but it was way better than the 34% I was this May, 6 weeks after delivery. So right now I am focused on building muscle. I am just PISSED that I am not one of those people that 'had the weight drop off' from breast feeding
And this is a confession combined with a flameful but someone once made a passing comment that they hoped they wouldn't gain 50+ lbs over their pregnancy because that would be HORRIBLE (I gained 55) and now they are at just shy of 50lbs with more than several weeks left to go. That comment really hurt me, I took it really personally, and while I don't wish unnecessary weight gain on anybody, I was sorta like 'ha, there's karma for you'…it's petty, I know.

I hate pumping and I EP, so that's not great. I hate all the dishes. I hate the time it takes. I hate that I basically have to get undressed to pump at work (I wear mostly dresses).
I'm trying to stockpile BM so I can quit as soon as possible. Right now I have 8 gallons (?) in the deep freeze. I feel like that's a lot, but that would only feed DS for 36 days, so it's not really that much and that makes me sad.

I hate pumping too. I'm looking forward to the break I have in August. I'm not sure what I'm going to do when I start back up again in September though.
we have been home from vacation for all of 12 hours and I'm secretly delighted that I've heard my landlords' newborn screaming a few times. they made comments about R crying when he was a new babe and it pissed me off so much. babies cry, yo!
I can take the high road in every other area of life, but having a baby has brought out a petty, grudge holding side to my personality. I can't say it's the most flattering trait.
Yesterday was the second time I went to the gym in our complex. The first time being when we took a tour of this place last year when we were looking at apartments.
I wanted to die after 45 minutes on the elliptical. Then we went out to a boozy dinner and I undid all the calories.
