So, I decided that was it. I can’t stand it anymore. Nothing fits me, all my clothes are small on me, and everyday I look at the mirror I think it’s another woman there and not me. It was Friday morning, my two little girls were already at school and in the kinder garden, my husband was in College and I was at home with my dear two months baby boy.
I really wanted a boy after my two precious girls, you know, to have of both kinds. This pregnancy was after a chemical pregnancy which left my husband and me quite in shock since we weren’t expecting it. I gained 15 lbs in this chemical pregnancy and so when I got pregnant with my boy thank god, I ended it with 35.2 lbs.
Right from day one, when I got home from the hospital I felt bad, I couldn’t stand myself. Family and friends told me, “give yourself a break, you’ve just gave birth”, “it will come off”, but it is now two months after and it hadn’t come off.
I decided to do something for myself, to stand and do a did, I searched the Internet for all kinds of diets but nothing seemed good enough to hold me, “been there done that”. Finally I came across weight watchers. At first I thought what’s all this points nonsense, how can you eat and count points? But this is what I am doing. And for now it’s not that bad, yeah I am walking around with the point’s book all day but I realized it gives me a sense of control, summing up to 20 points is all I need to do.
Anyway, I am writing on my second day and there’s no way I am not going to pull this off; I have to loose the weight. All these days my mind was with all these thoughts, that’s why I decided to share you guys on this, I think it would help me and if there’s even one of you out there that can relate to what I am saying and it helps him also during the diet journey – that would just be an extra bonus!
