So here I am three weeks post delivery and I know that it is not that far out and what not, however I have to face the fact that I still have 30+ lbs to lose. Oh how I hate loosing weight. It is not that I don't think that I can't do it, I've lost well over 30 lbs twice before and let me tell you, it sucks. Seriously why do women have to bear this burden of gaining weight and then loosing it. No kidding, men do not have to deal with this like women. I know that I still just barely had a baby, but NONE and by NONE I mean NONE, of my clothes fit. I wear sweat pants everyday, and I do not take off my jacket for fear of muffin top, lets just say it is a good thing its February!
It is so hard having gorgeous, skinny minnies all around you. Seriously who are these people that just fly right back into their pre-pregnancy jeans? I mean seriously, I want to rip your hair out, ok not really, but maybe. I had another mini-breakdown this morning, in the shower, yup nice visual huh? Just me bawling my eyes out, hey at least I didn't have mascara on to ruin, right?
Well I will try to be positive, but it really is so so so so hard and I just dread it with everything in me! This for me, is the hardest part about having a newborn, not the lack of sleep, or the cabin fever you get, but the weight that you are STUCK with. YUCK SICK GROSS. Oh well! My goal is to be in all my pre pregnancy clothes by June, think I can do it? I do, because nothing will stop me! I am determined!

Don't be so hard on yourself. It's not a compitition to see who can loose weight the fastest. Everyone will love you just the way you are. And like you said, you JUST had a baby. Each baby I had the weight came off slower and slower. Plus, you need to just be positive. One of the most important things in life is to be happy! Yes, its important to be healthy and at a healthy weight, but things all come in due time. For now, put on your sweats and relax a bit girl. You are awesome. P.S. I dont wear my normal jeans. I just fit in them a couple months ago. Maybe six months after having Saylor!
Your gorgeous! I would say don't be so hard on urself, BUT I'm the same way...Most of us girls are! U can do it! But don't miss out on your new little one while concentrating on your weight! The weight will come off, your little girl grows fast!
I've told you before and I'll tell you again. You are amazing and beautiful. Everything in due time.
seriously like everyone else said Brooke you are seriousy beautiful and it will come off! Of course you can do it by June! I know you THINK you have a lot to lose but I think you look great! I mean hello you just had a baby! I know it's easier said though for me right now, but I feel the exact same way after having babies! It totally bugs that we have no choice gaining weight with babies, but atleast they are worth it right?! Love you Brooke!
I'm right there with you. I totally understand. I had 45 to lose after quinn and I have 15 more to go. (well it was 10 to go but i had a bad few weeks) problem is mine is almost 9 months and that was my goal... anyhow... WE CAN DO IT!
Oh Brooke. I love your honestly, but now we can be honest with you, right? YOU are your own worst critic! I know I haven't seen you post-baby, but pre-baby you looked fabulous! Don't be too hard on yourself. :)
The great thing is is that almost everyone who has had a baby knows exactly how you feel no matter how fast/slow it comes off for them! ARG but it is NO FUN! At least you have something amazing and beautiful to show for it! It's part of the price of having the privelege of being a mother!
Like they say 9 months in 9 months out. That is the hardest thing for me to after my babies. But you just got done doing the most amazing miracle ever! You worked hard to make that baby and as a mother we sacrifice everything, even our bodies for our children that we love unconditionally. So just think of that beautiful baby you just brought into this world and remind yourself that it was so worth it. You mine as well enjoy it. This is one of the only times when you can totally get away with wearing sweats all day.
You can do it Brooke! you are so beautiful and such an amazing person! I know it's hard...and there are days you want to rip your hair out...I think every girl has a day like that! But keep up the hard work! you have such amazing friends and an amazing husband for a support team!
Can't the guys just go through it once? It is so depressing! This is still a daily battle i have with myself, but I can honestly say that I don't notice it on others, just myself. You have the most beautiful face and that is all that anyone looks at. From my memory the weight started to come off around week 6 very slowly, by month 3 i could wear SOME clothes and some still don't fit. I wish i could help more, because believe me I remember feeling those feelings after having Grayson. Hang in there!
amen sister.
Now HOW DO you lose the baby weight?
