Hello Fat Girl In the Mirror

Yep, I'm talking to myself.  I'm fat again.  It's been about a year and a half since I have been on here and my how times have a changed.

Background:

I ended up getting down to 186 so about 42 pounds lost.  I was probably down a couple of pounds from that too but last summer was crazy busy and we spent a lot of time up north so I didn't go for my weigh-ins.

I celebrated my 40th birthday in August 2011 and I got quite the birthday present....I found in September 2011 that I was pregnant!  Crazyyyyy!!!  We had such a hard time getting pregnant with my son that I never in a million would have thought I could pregnant without trying.

So, yeah, we welcomed our beautiful little girl Elise in May 2012.  She is gorgeous and honestly the most amazing baby ever.  I know everything thinks that their baby is the best, but I'm sorry, mine really is the best :)  Nah, I kid, you probably have good babies too, mine just happens to be amazing.

She sleeps all night, is so happy, lets her 2 1/2 year old brother beat the crap out of her and doesn't tell on him, although we do try to keep a close eye on him to prevent serious injury from occurring LOL.

So, yep, +1 baby and I've gained almost all my weight back.  Totally sucks, but totally worth it.

Now I'm 41 and I'm back at the starting point.  I am still doing Medical Weight Loss.  They have been good to me.  I started about 1 month ago with the shakes but I haven't been as committed as I need to be so I woke up this morning with renewed commitment to ME and MY weightloss! 

No more pizza, good -bye wine (I'll miss you!) but you can take your calories and suck it. 

I want to be skinny.  My original goal remains - 160 lbs. I will post a stats update after I get weighed in tomorrow, but I just did a weigh in last week and I was 220.4.  That's only down 8 pounds from my original starting weight in December 2010 so I have some work to do!

My first mini goal is to get to 215.  I remember that's when I started feeling like my size 18's didn't fit so tight and once your clothes stop fitting tight, it gives you some incentive (at least for me it does).

I will take a new starting picture too so that I can remember that is how people are seeing me (fat) and also as a comparison when I start losing weight so I can see progress.

Happy Sunday!!
