It's a Small World, After All
I have to share this with you, my internet public, because I don't think my husband fully appreciates this statement:
I am currently a SIZE FOUR.
I don't think I've ever been a size four: I went from wearing kids' clothes to wearing a size eight.
Was I fat before? I thought I was about average. But now I can't imagine being four sizes larger than I am now.
I'm smaller than I was when I used to run three or four times a week, and I don't exercise or watch what I eat (except for avoiding dairy -- which I never had much of anyway -- and soy).
I guess I have breastfeeding to thank.
Don't hate me because I'm skinny. I'm sure once Henry weans this will all be only a dream. A lovely, size four dream.

Wow! Way to go! Good for you! (Alfie Kohn is retching at this moment)
Seriously, though, I found that breastfeeding was a FANTASTIC weight loss program after babies 1 and 2. After three, uh, not so much... :(
Enjoy it! And nurse for years to keep it off (and to keep Henry happy!)
lol...

Are you sure I'm not allowed to hate you? All the breastfeeding I'm doing brought me down to a size 12 (barely).
I have a friend who gained back ALL of her pregnancy weight after her daughter weaned. Ack. I think I'm going to join a gym. If I could ever find the time ...
