I’m a whale.

All the magical, miracle instant weight loss I experienced and glowingly reported after Sara was born? Basically just water weight. Dammit!

Since then, a combination of less aerobic exercise (hiking, mountain biking, walking), Dr. Pepper fueled all-nighters, and endless hunger has ensured I’ve stayed well above my pre-pregnancy weight and actually regained at least 6 lb. since just after Sara’s birth. Great.
I’m well aware of this grotesque fact of course, but denial is easy until you see whale-rific candid photos of yourself in all your not-so-glory…

When faced with a fact one would rather bury and run from, I think it’s best to just acknowledge it in the glaring light of day, and move on.

I do stand by a belief that my breasts weigh 5 lbs. a piece due to lactation, however… hey, I’m just sayin’.Comments disabled so my mom cannot say I look WONDERFUL (liar!) and my friends can’t snicker and agree with me on my various assertions…
