Yesterday I weighed myself in the morning and weighed in at 159 pounds. I had my 6 week postpartum check up and when I went to the doctors I weighed in at 158! I know its only a 1 pound difference, but it made me feel really good!
On the flip side, I just ordered a bridesmaids dress for my best friends wedding on October 24th and with my measurements, they measured me in at a size 12. My waist is a size 8 but my boobs and hips are a size 12! I can understand the boobs... I'm still breastfeeding and they are ginormous! I'm used to being a size 4-6 so saying that I'm a size 12 was just heartbreaking! I knew it was coming though... oh well, more motivation to lose the weight!
This is the dress I have to fit into... at least the stomach is flattering!

ReplyDeleteThey make those dress sizes all messed up so you have to buy bigger and pay for alterations - seriously, I'm not making this up! So don't pay too much attention to the numbers - they lie!
