 So 6 months ago I had a baby. Congratulations to me. But the thing that sucks is that losing that baby weight is not as easy as I was hoping it was going to be. At first I lost like 10 pounds. Obviously because the 7 pound baby that was in my belly was no longer there. And unfortunately I gained a little bit more than I had wanted to during my pregnancy. It really wasn’t my fault. My husband left for Iraq when I was about 10 weeks pregnant. And he didn’t get home until 9 days after my daughter was born. So during pretty much my entire pregnancy I was left alone and solely in charge of all of my food preparations. Which for any pregnant woman out there knows is a dangerous situation. You get so many cravings while you’re pregnant. Most of them are not healthy. For me McDonalds was my weakness for a few months. And going through the drive through and spending five or six bucks on dinner was easier and faster than cooking an entire meal for myself. I did try, don’t get me wrong, to cook. But most of the time I would finish cooking and not feel like eating what I made or lose interest because it took so long to cook. Long story short I ate too much fast food, gained more weight than I wanted and now am paying for it when it comes to losing that weight. Plus have a baby doesn’t make getting up and going to the gym whenever I want any easier. I wish I was rich enough to hire a personal trainer and personal chef to be there for me every day until I can lose the weight I want and get back into shape.
