Those who knew me during and before the end of 2008 knew me as a skinny little rail who could out eat everybody. At 5'3 I weighed 105lbs. I could eat anything I wanted and never gain a pound, in fact I could still lose weight. I ate all the chips I wanted, drank beers and beers and beers, ate donuts, drank fatty lattes.. You name it, I could eat it. But I was also a smoker... And I'm a firm believer that smoking can keep the chunkiness of some people. Not all people but some. And I was one of those people.
Now I'm struggling with 10, 20, 30...35 extra post baby lbs that are slowly coming off. 30 of which I haven't been able to shake since giving birth to Boo. But the 35lbs I gained with Punky is actually 5lbs away from being completely gone! Yay is me!
I used to sneer at my mother who would advise me, eat healthier, cut the carbs, cut the yummy foods I love so much. Argh! "No way!" I would not listen. Don't you hate it when your parents end up being right all along? Because sure enough, as soon as I cut these things out of my diet, "Boom!" the fat came flying off. 12lbs gone immediately after giving birth to Punky, 8lbs from July-Sept. Then I started dieting and lost 10lbs since Sept! A few walks here and there, 60 sit ups a day can take you a long way.
Now here's to hoping it keeps coming off. 35 more lbs to go!
