 It has been 2 weeks since I started my weight loss plan. I have been trying to avoid weighing myself everyday. But I will not lie it has been very hard. I am kind of at a road block at the moment. You see a friend of mine had a baby only a month after me. So we are trying to lose our baby weight together. Only for some reason she seems to be doing it faster than me. And she isn’t even trying as hard as I am. I have been going to a group exercise class for the past 2 weeks, 3 days a week and each class is an hour. Then I have been either walking or doing Pilates the other 2 days of the week and taking the weekend to give my body a break and rest. I have been watching what I eat. No ice-cream, cookies, the only thing I indulge in once in awhile is graham crackers with a little peanut butter. And yet somehow she has lost more weight than me, and fits into a smaller jean size to top it off. We are pretty close in height. She also has a little extra weight in the mommy milk region, and I did not seem to add any size to my bust so to speak during breastfeeding, which should have added a few more pounds to her scale. It is like everyone around me can lose weight except me. It is so frustrating. I went shopping this weekend to see if I could fit into the size of jeans I would like to be, with no luck. I just decided to buy the bigger size and cut the damn tag off so nobody but me knew what size they were. I don’t even know why I am trying so hard to lose weight anyway. It is not like my husband even notices if I would. Strangers who ask me how old my daughter is always give me a courteous, oh you look great. But the one person who I need to hear that from the most doesn’t.
