I'm fat. Yes, I just had a baby, but I was fat before I got pregnant.
Let me back up. In about 2005, I caught sight of myself in my mom's full-length mirror in her bathroom after getting out of the tub and about puked. I was at my heaviest weight (240 lb) and REFUSED to gain one more pound! I joined Weight Watchers and after 18 months, lost 65 lb and felt fantastic. Then I stopped following the program, gained about 25 lb, got pregnant, gained about 30 lb (AFTER having the baby), got pregnant again....After I had James in November, the least I weighed was 218 lb...the most I weighed was 232 lb. Yep, I gain weight while breastfeeding.
I guess I've always used breastfeeding as my excuse to not "diet" for fear of compromising my supply. Well, I KNOW Weight Watchers works and I KNOW they have a breastfeeding program so...I joined on 03/26/10. Weighing in at 226.2 lb.
The awesome thing is, I'm SO not dieting. I am changing my eating habits. I am never hungry. I never feel deprived of anything. No one is telling me what I can and can't eat...except me.
As of 03/02, I've lost 6.2 lb. My goal is to be back to my prepregnancy weight...my FIRST prepregnancy weight (LMAO) which was 155 lb by my 20 year class reunion (which isn't until 2012 so...totally obtainable goal). That is a healthy BMI for my height. I know I can do this and am excited to have started my journey to a healthier life.
