Losing Those “Baby Fat” - week 3
Isabella was over 5 months old, and she was strong and healthy. I decided to stop breast feeding and work on the weight problem.
That was 3 weeks ago; and yes I had a weight problem!
I have always been sensitive to my weight - blame me or the media if you want. I don’t really care. Political correctness is one thing; what everyone thinks is another. For me, this is more of a personal issue. I always want to be slim. It makes me feel better, feel more confident and energized. I was willing to give up lots of good things in life, such as ice cream, cake, chocolate, and regular coke…
My regular (and normal, based on my build) weight was around 110 lbs - that was, until I became pregnant. For both preganancies, I gained over 50 lbs. That was about half of my regular body weight!!
Luckily, I quickly lost the “baby” weight once I stopped breast feeding after having the first child. That made me feel more confident with the second one.
But, it turned out to be much more difficult. I hardly saw any progress in the first 2 weeks, despite of the long workouts I did every day. I guess there were 2 reasons: (1) the 2nd one is more difficult, (2) with my son whining for ice cream every day, it’s now easier for me to join the feast.
So I decided to tighten up more - no ice cream, no carb, no mocca! No! No!! No!!!
I just found out I have lost 5 lbs in the past week! Not bad… 
Still about 35 lbs to go…
