Too Tight
I put on a pair of capris on the other day from last summer, and my goodness they were tight. Yesterday I noticed how tight my jeans were getting - I still wore them, but the hips and legs were tight. My shirts are tight, and I'm not prepared mentally to see if last year's swim suit is too tight. Conclusion: after losing weight amazingly fast after my last baby in '08 I am definitely on my way back up in size. It's very disappointing, but since I didn't put any effort into losing it in the first place (besides feeding my baby) I suppose I can't be too upset. Fact is, the only real effort I've ever put into losing weight were the few times I nearly starved myself and the few months I worked out at the Y, which I still didn't do on a regular basis. I did download the C25K app on my phone a few weeks ago, but have yet to even look at it. Last week I walked for about 20 minutes 2 days in a row and was extremely proud of myself, but then the next day I had a shin splint in 1 leg and that was excuse enough to not walk again. I've been saying for awhile that I wish I was a runner, enjoying as much as the friends I have who run, but I just don't think I'm cut out for it. Am I destined to be flabby for the rest of my life? To be so out of shape that I'd rather drive around a parking lot for 10 minutes then have to exurt the energy to walk an extra 20 feet? Will I ever be able to break the habit of waking up in the middle of the night to eat? (I do love my Reese's Peanut Butter cups at 3am!) Maybe I'll just buy some bigger clothes again, and start saving for liposuction.

lol - you are anything but flabby. No worries, Katie. Truly, you are a beautiful woman on the inside AND out. :)
ReplyDeleteOh Katie, you are not fat or flabby at all! I always wished I enjoyed the idea of running too, but I just can't bring myself to even think about enjoying it. I just broke the middle of the night eating habit a few months ago...you'd be surprised how easy that habit was to break once I moved in with my mother-in-law and didn't feel as though I had my own kitchen to raid anymore!
ReplyDeleteI know I'm not extremely overweight by any means, but for being only 5'1" (with my hair curly!) I'm still above the suggested weight for my height. And I don't want to lose like 30 pounds, but would like to see a little muscle instead of jiggly fat! And I'd like to go back to not having stomach stick out/roll over the top of my jeans... but I'm not sure how I'll achieve those goals with how I like to eat and sit.
ReplyDeleteYou look great. However, I will say it would be far better to keep a handle on it now than to have to try and lose a bunch later. You don't want to look like your mother! Although she's been fat all her life. But still...keep it under control NOW...just eliminate the night-time eating and you'll probably maintain where you're at now.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Erin though too!!!!
