Loosing weight makes me happy!
I have had two children, whom I love more than anything.
I would not trade them for anything in this world or outside of it.
But.........
Having children has definitely reeked some havoc on my body.
Things have moved, stretched, and frankly diapered in some cases.
With Norah getting older, and nursing less, (yes she is still nursing)
my body is finally starting to let go of some of the "Momma Bear" weight I put on.
With Patrick, I gained a whopping 60 pounds. I went from a size 7ish, to an 18 after he was born. I was devastated to look at my new body in the mirror. I went from complaining about love handles to stretch marks and rolls of skin I never had before, lol. My brain never got the memo that I gained so much because still to this day, I still dream thin, lol. It was impossible for me to loos weight after Patrick, my body seemed to want to store every ounce of fat. Once he quit nursing, I started loosing, and I was thrilled, but then......Pregnant again! Lol, I only gained 25 pounds with Norah, but that was on top of the 10 I gained from my miscarriage.
Anyway. With all of my diet changes, and recent increase in exercise, along with Norah's drop in nursing, my body is once again, slowly, but surly, dropping some weight.
I am excited. I have never become used to my bigger body, and now I start to recognize myself in the mirror a little more.
Loosing is awesome. I like being a looser!
(lol)
After Norah was born I was back up to a size 16, in the past months I have dropped a little here, and a little there. Last week I went shopping for some clothing for Jared's wedding, and fit into a size 7/8! Maybe those pant's run big, but still, smaller than a 16. Someone give me a WooooooHooooo!

Sigh. JEALOUS! I was in a size 4 after having SONshine, and 5 weeks after Dandelion was born, I was down to an 8...then inexplicably I began to put on weight...lots of weight. I'm so discouraged; I've never been this large.
