One way to lose the baby weight

About a month ago, I happened to weigh myself one morning. This doesn’t happen very often because I am afraid of becoming addicted to the scale, afraid of what it might say—and because I keep the scale in a cabinet in the guest bathroom.

But on this day, the scale was out so I stepped on. And, of course, at two and a half months post partum, I was disappointed with the reading—in fact, I’d even gained weight since the last time I’d ventured onto the scale.

That night, as Hayden brushed his teeth at the sink, I lamented to Ryan that I was still struggling with my weight. To illustrate my point, I stepped on the scale.

“Oh, I don’t believe this!” I exclaimed. “Since just this morning, I’m like ten pounds heavier!”

Ryan smiled sympathetically, reached out—and took Rebecca from my arms. That’s one way to lose the baby weight.

    Ahh . . . losing baby weight. I don’t think I can even call mine “baby” weight anymore. He’s almost 8 months. Still, I do the same thing. I lose a ton of weight in the month after the baby is born, then I gain about 5 pounds back and can’t ever seem to lose it. Lame.

    LOL – oh that is too funny! I like that weight loss method though – does it work with toddlers? 😉

    Too funny! It’s that momnesia thing kicking in, and might just be the reason I’m having a hard time losing weight – I’ve forgotten I’ve eaten already!
