I'm in the final stages of my pregnancy and I realize that some of my pre pregnancy clothes still fit. Don't get too excited. These are the pre pregnancy pre weight loss clothes. They fit me pregnant! What a wake up call. I've talked to a few friends and they say "well it's ok, your pregnant." Really, it's not ok. At some point in my life, I allowed myself to get big enough to wear clothes, that fit me pregnant. At what point did I lose control? What happened? How did I not see it! It was a real wake up call. And very depressing.
Going through my own weight loss journey was hard enough, now that I'm pregnant it seems to be harder. Emotionally anyways. After losing 30 lbs, it is hard to not worry about weight gain. I spoke with an RN at my last appointment. She told me not to worry about my weight and that I was on the right track. She doesn't know me well, so she doesn't really know my past struggles. How can I not worry about weight gain when it comes on so easily? I gained 70 lbs with my first and although nearly done, I'm still terrified of putting on an unhealthy amount of weight.
To date, I've still put on just 10 lbs. I'm very thankful for that. I have been focusing on eating healthy and exercising. If I didn't have such a huge support system, I'm not sure I would be where I am. I never want to go back to where I was. I have a plan for post delivery and I know I will get my goal. After the delivery of my son, I depended on Breastfeeding to take the weight off. It did not. This go round, I'm depending on a healthy diet and exercise. Here's to a successful remaining pregnancy! I can't wait to start a new journey!
