Quest for B.C.

Since Charlotte was born I have been trying to lose the baby weight plus some:( I needed to lose weight before I got pregnant. Well I have been doing weight watchers and I went to weigh in this week and I am officially two pounds away from my weight B.C. (Before Charlotte) I was pretty happy. I have not been following the program the way I should the past couple of weeks, but after Cherie and Jack left I got back on the horse and it has paid off. I was so terrified that I would never get that weight off let alone start to lose the rest of the weight I need to. Now I feel like I can do it. I would like to get back to what I was when I got married and then maybe even a little less. I don't want to be skinny just happy, but I doubt that will ever happen. When I was at the weight I was when I got married I still thought I needed to lose weight. It seems to be a never ending viscous cycle. The difference now is I am more content with myself. So I think I would just be happy at that weight. I remember when I was pregnant and every time I got on the scale at the doctors office, I wanted to cry and most times I did. Throughout my pregnancy I did water aerobics and tried to watch my weight but it just kept coming. When Charlotte was born I had to stop going to water aerobics because the only person I had to watch Charlotte is our neighbor (And Charlotte's adopted Grandma Monya). She is the lady that teaches the class so I couldn't go. Now Charlotte is old enough to sit in a floaty so I went and bought a nice one with a bunch of toys on it and I am going to take her with me. I won't be able to do the upper body part because I will have to hold on to Charlotte but I will be able to do the lower body and some things with the upper body. I am really looking forward to getting back into it. I miss it, and I know Monya will love having Charlotte there. She is such a wonderful person. I couldn't have a better Adopted Grandma for Charlotte. She treats her better then anyone else I know. I think she loves her as much as my mom would have loved her. It is great. So the quest for my weight B.C. continues. I know one thing my body sure doesn't look anything like it did B.C.. I am guessing those days are long gone and will never be seen again. Everything fits different and things have changed so much. I guess that is one thing I never expected. I thought once the weight was gone things would be the way they were. I guess that was just wishful thinking.........Oh well I love having Charlotte and I guess it the whole scheme of things it is a small price to pay.
