After having a baby (a rather large baby at 10lbs. 4oz) almost 7 months ago, I find myself not wanting to look in a full body mirror. I don't want my husband to see me in anything other than loose fitting clothes on, hoping that he won't notice the extra rolls of skin underneath. I no longer walk into a public place and feel that I "own" my walk. I want to be the one that blends in and is no longer noticed. Somehow I have lost myself under all of the baby weight that I gained.
This is the beginning of my journey. The beginning of my life change. While I am not morbidly obese, I might as well be with the way I feel about myself. I owe it to my baby to be healthy and fit in order to keep up with him and do all that he has interest in. I joined Weight Watchers about two weeks ago, and have currently lost 7lbs. to date. This blog is my outlet as I continue to change physically and mentally. As I yearn for finding "me".
