i really debated sharing this one... but then i figured - what kind of blogger would i be if i didn't share my most pathetic, embarrassing moments.
As most of you well know - i have really struggled this time around trying to lose the baby weight. It could be my addiction to sweets - that is still under debate - but whatever the reason, the pounds just don't seem to want to part any time soon.
so, as it is, i'm always trying on my summer shorts and capri's waiting for the day i finally fit in another pair. well, a few days ago i tried on some linen, draw-string capri's. they were perfect! seriously, they were so comfortable and i was very excited to fit in something so well... you know - no rolls hanging over the sides, it was wonderful. i was quite proud of myself for all my hard work at the gym. (i can hear you laughing Carrie and Ashley) alright, 'hard work' may be a term i'm using rather loosely here, but it's more the thought that counts - right?
anyway - a few days later i decided to wear those wonderful linen capri's again because they were so comfy. as i was pulling them on, i looked down at the tag and in my greatest 'for the love' moment yet, i realized why they were so comfortable... they were my old maternity capri's!!! for the love.
my feeling of being so proud in losing weight was now out the window. it was just a sham, a farce - they were maternity pants for goodness sake! and now i am forced to take a more serious look at my weight loss program. you know there's a problem when you feel your best after accidentally putting on maternity pants. i can see that just positive thinking my way into shape is not going to cut it anymore. and i think i'm going to have to give up sweets... well, at least for breakfast and maybe my 2:00 chocolate snack. so sad. but desperate times call for desperate measures.
wish me luck.

I'll have to join you on the weight loss program...C-sections aren't that great for your figure. :)
I always said that after I had Owen I would still wear maternity clothes. Elastic waste band! Hello! Can it get any more comfortable? Stretchy fabric that glides so easily over pooches. Why do we even fight it?
Brenda, you are beautiful, I don't know what you are taking about. I'm starting to pooch with this pregnancy, so hopefully that will make you feel better at the pool this coming weekend. We are so excited to see you! Sara
seriously, Talai, why do we fight it? i hate that in the morning i can put on my pants and they feel great - but by 8:00 at night i can't wait to take them off and put on some nice, comfy, stretchy pants. but - that being said - i have been very careful for 2 days now with no sweets (no sweets as in, not for breakfast... i couldn't give up my late-night ice cream) and i actually went to the gym today. (mostly to work off last nights ice cream)
i miss you lots!!!! call me when you come to visit so we can get together!
