I discovered something yesterday.... it was amazing. And it made me ever so happy. I was looking in the mirror - with clothes on - and I decided to check out my tummy.... to see if it was decreasing in size. You know you've done that too - don't even pretend you haven't. And I noticed that I have a waist. A waist! That part of my body that curves in - it's above my hips. Holy cow! I haven't had a waist in so stinkin' long. I had forgotten that I could even have one anymore! Of course, my tummy is still pouchy and when I bend over there is a roll BUT I have a waist. I am thrilled! Can you tell?
But I am not so thrilled that my major sweet tooth is getting denied. Since I choose not to eat dairy, chocolate or drink coffee when nursing, at least for the first few months, that cuts out a whole lot of my daily intake of food. Like we're talking major food groups here. Sure, it's good for weight loss and my baby has a much easier time with digestion but..... I sure miss chocolate and my steaming cup of coffee with loads of honey and milk. Let's not even venture into the cheese missing because I might cry.
But as Daniel says: "All for love, baby. All for love"

Congrats on the waist. I don't think I ever had one-straight from the shoulders to the ankles! That's me!
Love you-
Mom
Yeah! Isn't that a great feeling! :)
Good for you! I really need to get back into shape. I'm fine with the "numbers" I just need to get toned up. I get this way every winter. So annoying!
glad your waist has found its way back. :) BTW, I like honey in my coffee too!
It's only for awhile...its not forever...thank God. The sacrifices us mothers make.
oh you are so funny! I would have a seriously hard time giving up dairy and chocolate!
Sounds like me with the Daniel fast. I couldn't give up the coffee so I settled with fasting cheese. So hard. I eat cheese as a snack food. Cheese has such a special place in my heart.
You're pretty tough - to be able to give up dairy and chocolate while nursing! I gave up most of my caffeine intake until about 8 or 9 months, but that's it.
Congrats on the waist! I still haven't seen mine yet :D
