I'm about a week new...hope I'm posting my hello in the right place.
I'm 32, live in S cal and just had a baby girl 6 weeks ago. I guess you can see my weight story on my ticker. I am breastfeeding exclusively and that is going well, we were just at the pediatrician yesterday and she is up from her birthweight of 9 lb 2 oz to 13 lb 4 oz. So I'm starting to really try and drop a few pounds...I was 170 when I found out I was pregnant, 30 lb overweight already. I quit smoking (yay!) and had to quit my very physical job (boo!) and started packing on the weight.
I started a 1800-2000 calorie a day diet a few days ago. I walk 30 minutes with a stroller or do a taebo tape 3-4 times a week. I can and should do more. My body is abhorent to me...I can't bear to look at myself. I'm proud of what it can do too though...I brought a new person into the world AND feed her! I wish I could reconcile these feelings. Hope to.
I'm an artist. I like biology, sociology, politics. Music. Books. I love my husband.
Glad to be here. My husband is downstairs making baked stuffed shells and breaded chicken...there is french bread lurking down there too. I only saved about 600 calories, so I have to be careful! I feel like a pirrhana on a short leash right now, it smells so good in here. I'm going to do all I can not to throw caution to the wind and mow through that damn pasta like a pitbull. Jeez. Hopefully if I fill most of my plate with a ton of salad I'll be ok. But I do go on!
