Unfortunately I had just given a bunch of size 6s away because I was certain I'd never get that big again. Obviously I wasn't thinking about the aftermath of pregnancy then.
Right now I'm fitting into size 4s, but they're still tight and I'm holding on to weight in my hips and thighs. I'd probably feel a lot better if I just bought some size 6 jeans to wear until I drop a few more lbs and fit more comfortably into my 4s, but I just can't bring myself to spend more money when I just gave a bunch to goodwill. But tight jeans make me feel cranky and fat  |
It sounds like we're pretty much the same size, at least in clothes. What I bought was Old Navy, size 4, skinny, short Diva -- they're tight, but they're stretchy, a little bit. Because of the stretch, they fit now and they'll fit later too. At another store (Reitmans, I think that might be just a Canadian chain though), I was a 6. I'm also thinking back to all the clothes I gave away some years back when I figured I'd never be a 6 again. Oh well. I probably wouldn't want them back anyway...they were all office-y clothes. Entirely unsuitable to getting spit up on and changing diapers and hanging out with a baby.
So the goal for this week? Increase my walking times. I just found out a friend of mine, who is also post c-section (and gave birth a month later than me) is walking LONG distances. So after I got over momentarily feeling like a slug, I was inspired by that. Maybe I can't go as long as she can, but I can go a little further than I am now.

Pizza, bagels, junk food, you name it, I'm eating it!
