Making Baby Weight

After years and years (and years) of struggling with my weight and one rather petite baby I finally joined Weight Watchers (again).  I couldn’t begin to tell you what’s different this time around.  It’s too cheesy to even say and yet there’s something.  Something that I can’t put my finger on and yet something that I am holding onto with every fiber of my being. 

I’m currently 15.8 lbs down.  Wanting to know when it was I reached my pre pregnancy weight and thereby was loosing additional weight, I reached out to my OBGYN.  It’s what I like to call “making baby weight”. 

I honestly had no idea how far off I was and when I saw those numbers, well let’s just say it took a solid 24 hours for me to come out of my shock.  While I knew I didn’t want to spend my pregnancy and fuss over how much weight I gained during my pregnancy, I also know now just how much I stuck my head in the sand. 

I just hit my 5% and while certainly my 10% is a next logical goal, or even hitting 20lbs what I’ve decided is that I want to make baby weight by my next OB appt.  That app. is April 23rd, and I need to look 23.2 lbs.  That’s basically 2 pounds a week. 

Can it be done?  Sure.

Will it be hard?  Hell yes.

Am I going for it anyway?  You know it.
