As I mentioned (a while ago), I bought myself a consultation with a stylist as a present and a reward for working towards my pre-pregnancy weight.
I had my style consult on Saturday, and when I weighed in on Thursday, I was only four pounds over my pre-pregnancy weight. I think that’s a major accomplishment, considering it’s only been four months since my little one was born, and most of what I’ve read says to give yourself a full nine months to get the weight off, even if you’re breastfeeding.
I feel good about this, and the way it’s happening, too. I eat toast slathered with real butter many mornings for breakfast. I have a small bowl of full-fat ice cream for dessert. Will I be able to keep that up and still lose weight once I stop breastfeeding? I don’t know, but that’s a question for later. For now, paying attention to my portion sizes, trying to eat more fruits and veggies, and getting out to exercise a couple of times a week is working for me.
