While I can't take back the Jimmy John's, chicken sandwich and fries, pizza or wine, I HAVE taken back the 1.2 pounds I had gained! WHOO HOO! Yep, I'm actually down 1.4 pounds from Saturday's weigh in. I'm currently 206.4. Which, after last week, I'll take it.
I'm still kind of p.o'd with myself that I let my pie hole inhale all that bad food, but hey, what can you do? Sometimes a girl needs her wine. Although to be honest with you, I really don't like pizza that much, so I should have definitely skipped the pizza.
Okay, now for something funny. I went to a baby shower for a girl I work with last year. It was last April, so I was four months post-partum. Well, the girl I work with said to me yesterday that her friend had put together a scrapbook of her baby shower and, "oh my god Fancy, you are seriously half the person that you used to be". She's like, "if you saw those pictures, you'd be so proud of yourself and how far you've come. I even showed my husband and he can't believe that is you".
So while I appreciate the "kind of" compliment, I'm also definitely not half the person I used to be. When I went for my 8 week check up, I weighed 210. That's only 3 pounds more than I weigh right now. I was breastfeeding and, so, probably the only thing that I have half of are my boobs. LOL. It wasn't until I stopped pumping in July that I BAM! put on 15 pounds almost right away and shot up into the 220's.
I think it's funny that she said that I'm half the person I was before, because the reality of it is that I probably look just as fat now as I did then. But, since she sees me every day, she doesn't see the "real' me as being as fat as the "picture" me. Instead of being insulted, I'm choosing to find it amusing.
So, the moral of my funny story is that I'm still fat and not half the person I used to be....YET! But I know that My Skinny Bitch is hiding in here somewhere!!!
