04-8-2009 - Time to Lose the Baby FAT!!!

My mood while writing this blog: Motivated :)

Alright, I'm almost 5 months PP and I'm tired of looking like crap. I'm short, and I've still got a belly, and I'm tired of not fitting into any clothes. I don't like buying clothes when I'm big, but I'm still wearing maternity jeans half the time and it's just depressing. I don't own a scale, because I had eating issues when I was younger, and I tend to obsess and lose too much weight when I have a scale. So I'm going by size- I WILL fit into my pre-preggo clothes by... well, August 30 was my original goal (mine and DH's 6 year anniversary) but I think maybe now I'm aiming for my birthday. I'm going to be 28 October 17, and I'd like to be a little more comfortable in my own skin for year 28. Right now I'm a size 10/12 (my hips are 10, my arse and thighs are 12) and last August I was a size 4/6. So by September, 1 month from now, I want to be wiggling into my size 8 jeans (which used to be my fat jeans... sigh...) And then I've got a month and a half to get rid of the rest.

My biggest problem right now is CHIPS! I'm vegan, and usually super healthy, but I got into a bad chip habit when I was preggo and I just can't kick it. So starting today, it's healthy crackers and popcorn- no more chips! And I'm going to go back to only drinking water, juice or soymilk - no more rootbeer or iced tea. And I have to stop with the constant coffees, because it just adds calories. SO, I'm breaking those awful craving cavings that I did when I was preggo, and we'll see how far that gets me... Any additional suggestions would be WELCOME...
