Almost eight months ago, I gave birth to my second beautiful little girl, and I weigh more now, than I did on that day…
How is this possible?
Well, during my pregnancy I was told that I had gestational diabetes, and was put on a very strict diet. I was allowed a few carbs, no sugar, and insulin shots twice daily, it was terrible. I ended up losing five kilos while I was pregnant.
(Don’t worry, Ela was born at a very healthy weight, right on time).
However, because of the strictness of the diet… Because I live in Belgium… Because I’m breast feeding… I went a bit crazy after, and promptly put those five kilos back on… Plus…
Today, I tried on a beautiful dress… And it didn’t look good, and it was a large….
So I cried.
I know I’m not fat, I know that I do make healthy choices (generally), but I also know that I am not happy with the way my body looks right now.
So tomorrow I make the change.
I’ve decided to go back on my diabetic diet.
Why? Because even though it was awful to give up all the things I loved, I felt good.
I looked good.
And most importantly, even though I was pregnant, I had energy.
So, I’m putting it out there into the universe.
Tomorrow I start, and I am going to lose this last bit of weight, and feel better.
Wish me luck!
