So, I am finally starting to feel like my body is coming back. I'm fitting into jeans I haven't seen in over a year and am more comfortable in my skin. It is such a hard process as you are so very excited to be pregnant, and I didn't want to be too hard on myself while pregnant. I exercised and watched what I ate, and still gained more than I would have liked to.
Since I decided to stop breastfeeding after Elizabeth was continuing to lose weight after birth, I was slightly depressed. I was hoping to use that as a catapult to getting my pre-baby body back, and when that wasn't available, I got pretty frustrated. I had lost about 15-20lbs during the time Mark and I were trying to get pregnant, so I was at my smallest in a LONG time when I got pregnant. Coupled with the fact that after my 1st trimester I was taken off my medications that help in maintaining my glucose level and ultimately helped me lose weight about 5 years ago, I gained that 15lbs back pretty quickly.
It has been hard, but I am happy that I am feeling more comfortable with myself. It's only taken 8 months! :o)
