Pre-pregnancy size
The weight is almost gone, but the hips may be here to stay.
It has been over two months (9 weeks and 2 days to be exact) since Addison was born. In that time I have managed to lose most of the weight I gained during pregnancy, except for about 5 to 8 pounds. Though I have lost all that weight, my hips (hips & thighs) are not anywhere close to their pre-pregnancy size. Before I was pregnant I wore a size 4 jeans. I went to try on jeans today and most of the size 8's I tried on did not fit. I finally did find a size 8 that fit and was comfortable. It just boggles my mind how I can only be 5 pounds away from my pre-pregnancy weight, but yet still be almost 3 sizes larger than my pre-pregnancy size.
I don't think that I look much, if any, bigger than I did before I was pregnant. In fact, I would say that most people (just by looking at me) would think that I was back down to my pre-pregnancy size.
Now I know some of you are rolling your eyes and wondering why I am complaining about being a size 8. It is not that I mind being a size 8. And it is not that I am complaining, more that I am just surprised by the fact that apparently weight and size do not necessarily work the same after pregnancy as they did before. Because, in theory, if weight and size worked the same as before, then considering that I am almost back to my pre-pregnancy weight, I should be able to almost get back into my pre-pregnancy size or at least the next size up.
More importantly and probably the thing that does bother me and I will complain about, is the fact that I can not afford to buy a whole new wardrobe. I have spent years slowly building a wardrobe of pants, from dress slacks to casual jean. To think that now I have to start over is quite depressing.
The Fight is not over though. It has only been a little over two months. And I am still not back into a regular exercise routine. I am not giving up. I think there is still hope that I might be able to get back into my pre-pregnancy pants. I will let you know how it goes.
Love to All!
