I have tried hard to loos the "baby weight". I wore a size 11 jeans before I had my son. I am now unhappily lounging around in a 15/17 depending on the week. We own an elliptical and have a gym membership. The elliptical creaks and the noise is my excuse for not using it as much as I should. Yes, I realize this is a lame excuse. The gym is only 2 miles from my house but the child care hours are from 9-1 and 4-7 (ish). With work, my sons nap schedule, hubbys work schedule, class hours and needing sleep, I don't get over there but like once a week. I'm in a year long contract so trust me I feel the guilt once a month when they get paid. No need to bash me even more. I hate the slimfast shakes, and I have tried multiple varieties of "meal replacement" bars. I am always hungry. I'm a southern girl who is addicted to comfort food and carbs. At least I'm admitting it... I don't drink much soda, I always go for a glass of ice water first. Giving up soda did nothing in terms of helping me drop weight, but I know it's a healthy thing to do anyway so I am trying to stick with it. I was on DepoProvera for two years and recently switched to Mirena. While it uses the same hormone, it has a much smaller dosage. I am hoping that this could help because after I had my son and started Depo, I gained another 15 pounds. One of the newer FDA approved weight loss drugs is a combo of "topiramate" and another drug. I take topiramate for migraines, but it is prescribed for a range of problems. I know other people who were given this for migraines and shrank like a popped balloon! My body must hate me, because I have been on it for over two years and never saw a change. Maybe the Depo was cancelling it out? One can dream can't she? So I currently sit at 200lbs and my size 15 jeans fit, and the 17s fall down when I bend over or put my cell phone in the pocket. Hopefully there will be an update one day and I'll be giving you some smaller numbers. Bitch, whine, share your sympathy if you want, but please for the love of GOD or whomever you believe in... do not comment bragging that your amazing metabolism never let your ass get bigger than a single digit pants size. My DD wearing double digit rear end does not relate to your skinny problems, ok honey?
Much love, The Not So Trophy Wife
