I have always worried about weight. Actually, I obsess with my weight... I had a small eating disorder in high school, luckily I was able to snap out of it at the time. This will be a challenge till I die, I will never NOT worry about my weight. Do I have back fat, a muffin top, relief society arms, does it LOOK like I have had kids...the list can go on and on. I pretty much hate my scale, and I really hate the fact that my weight bothers me like it does...
But with that being said, I feel like I'm starting to love my body. Never in a MILLION years would I have thought that I would like what I see after kids. After Khloe was born I lost 30 pounds putting me at the tip top of the BMI charts and I HATED it. But at the time we didn't have the resources to do much about it. After Daxton was born I was considered obese! I honestly couldn't even imagine myself that way...although scales do not lie...(unless your battery dies...) I stared Weight Watchers 2 weeks after he was born and ended up loosing 30 pounds the first couple months and felt great. Then we decided to move...and the diet went out the window. Although I did not gain anything back, I was still pretty big. Once we moved into my parents, my mom and I started again, and I have lost another 30 pounds! That a total of 60 pounds! 60 pounds are you kidding me?!
My body is doing things it has never done.
-I'm running 5-6 miles at a time,about 25 miles a week! Pushing a stroller with 2 kids(total weight 85 pounds!!!)
-I've quit diet coke, unless we go to dinner, and that almost never happens with 2 kids!
-My wedding ring fits again after 3 years.
- I'm in pants that I wore when I found out I was pregnant with Khloe.
- Ive become a bit of a health nut...Brusel sprouts, beats, 2/3 of our groceries are fruit and veggies.(poor Steve!I'm still trying to convince him he likes these foods;))
-sleeping at night
this list could go on for days...
I'm pretty proud of my accomplishments... I have found a half marathon in September...I'm trying to make the date work, if not the next one would be in November...Colorado likes to have them on Sundays...maybe I should look in Utah...
anyways here are some pictures. I didn't take a pic of my starting weight but I did take one when I had lost 30 pounds. so here are my before and afters
The pants in this picture were done up with a rubber band. Now I cant keep them on:-)
(ignore the ipad and the huge pink case...My kids only play nice when Bubble Guppies are being streamed from my phone to the tv...)
I still have work to do(i always will) but I still can't believe I have lost 60 pounds!
