I don't know how in the world this happened, but I have lost 60 pounds. SIXTY. Six zero. Holy shit, 60 fucking pounds! This is going to make me sound like a bitch, but I have not tried to lose even a single pound. Much like everything else in my life, I have not been motivated to eat better or exercise. I keep saying I'm going to do it, but I haven't yet. I can only assume that breastfeeding has worked miracles in the past 4 months.
The day I went to the hospital for my induction, I was 210 pounds. I was mortified, but hey, I had a big freaking baby growing inside of me. I noticed the weight dropping off the first month or so after she was born. I've pretty much avoided the scale since I returned to work but today I felt like torturing myself so I stepped on the scale (it's like a pussy's version of cutting). I was in disbelief that the scale said 150. That was AFTER the giant bowl of Cap'n Crunch (with crunch berries!) that I had just eaten. I weighed more than 150 when I started my fertility treatments, so this is a pretty big deal.
Don't get me wrong, I still look like a hot mess. 150 on a 5'4" girl is still not pretty, but it's a start. I have found that one of my biggest demotivators is when things get overwhelming. Losing 5 pounds is a goal that can be accomplished, but losing 80 pounds is not. So I just don't do it. But now that I've knocked out 60 (SIXTY!!!) pounds, I only have 20 more to go. Maybe, just maybe, I can accomplish that.
