earth shattering news in diet world today! my favorite hurley hoodie, which i probably wore 5 days a week (i know. fail.) before i got pregnant FITS! I mean, its a little snug, ok a lot snug, but the ZIPPER GOES ALL THE WAY UP! which means my body is at least of some semblence of what it was before the horrors of childbirth
i tried it on about a month after i gave birth and was devistated when i couldnt even get the zippers to touch no matter how hard i pulled or sucked in. there was a clear 2 inch gap along my stomach the fabric would not cover. if id managed to somehow zip it up id probably need the jaws of life to get me out of it! I was so dissapointed I immidietly put in the deepest darkest corner of my closet so I didnt have to look at it again.
fast forward to today where ive been trying some semblence of a diet for about a month now. granted "diet" is a pretty loosely defined word because I havent exactly conquered the desire to eat whatever the hell i want. Nonetheless though I have lost about two pounds
so today im rummaging around my apartment in the darik at 6am trying to sleepily throw an outfit together, and its fucking, i mean, fucking cold outside and i need something cozy and warm, but all my shits dirty, so i dug it out of the closet and tentively put it on....and squeeled with joy when it turned out to be wearable! eeeeee!
What suprises me more though is even though the weight ive dropped is pretty minor, ive taken my measurments (last time I measured was 10 weeks postpardum) and Ive lost a staggering 1.5 inches from my stomach and a solid inch everywhere else on my body. I dont really understand how that can be with only losing two pounds, but hell, i guess thats the way things are when your trying to lose baby weight!
I still have about 10 pounds or so to get to pre baby weight, and would ideally actually like to lose 15 (i wanted to drop a few pounds before i got pregnant too) but im quite discouraged because dieting so far has been an agonizing battle against hunger that im pretty damn terrible at ignoring
and does anybody know if your hips actually get wider after pregnancy/childbirth? yeah ive gained 10 pounds yada yada, but my jean size went from a size 4 to a size 8! Im not a ratard, so i dont think 10 pounds equates a jump in 4 sizes....does it?
