Chubby Forever

I mentioned (in my old blog) how I was going to try very hard to lose the baby weight after Liam was born.  Well, I have eaten (almost) nothing but salads and apples for the last 8 weeks and I'm pretty sure my blood has turned into chlorophyll ... with no loss.

Jogging?  I know chubby chicks can run too, but it's not fun.  

So I've complained to a few people and everyone seems to think the same way. 
         "You're body has a lot of hormonal issues right now.  You just have to wait."  

I had never given hormones a fighting chance.  I've always caved into the idea that using hormones was a cop out to taking full responsibility for yourself.  That is, until I had Lydia and dealt with postpartum depression.  Then I realized that validating hormones WAS taking full responsibility for myself.  So ...

I will probably spend some time educating myself by way of google and agonizing over the idea of going to my doctor to have my levels checked.

  1. Just remember that even though you're an American, your worth doesn't depend on your weight! I remind myself of that at least once a week, but it never seems to sink in. It would be nice if we could control our worlds, but it seems there's not much that we really do have power over.
