Hi. I am new here. I had a little girl in October. My husband is a musician and wrote me a song last night he had written about her birth. The refrain is "I know you can run." We had her at home unassisted. (Bear with me I have a point.) That means that I gave birth to her at home with just my husband. It was THE high of my life and my husbands. I can't describe how incredible and beautiful it was to bring her into this world on the same bed she was conceived on.
As simple and as natural as giving birth is, it made me feel like I could do anything. And more than anything right now I want to lose weight. I don't want her to grow up with a fat mom. I don't want to be one of those moms I have always seen that are large and wearing some dowdy clothes while they have their sweet little girl all dressed up. It always seemed to me in some way like the mom was dressing her up because she couldn't really do the same for herself.
I don't want to continue wearing just whatever I can find that fits me and doesn't look "too" terrible on me. I want my little girl to have a pretty mom too. I don't want her to have the fat mom. And if I can give birth on my own surely I can lose weight as well! We have a beach house reserved for us by in laws this summer and I want to look good when I go to the beach. I don't want to have to yet again wear some kind of cover up to hide my body down to my knees.
I was overweight before getting pregnant and this time the pregnancy weight isn't just dropping off like it did with my boys. I have a ways to go and I am really looking forward to the support here to stick with my new WOE and lose this weight!!
