Sunday, April 21, 2002 -- I'm wearing size 12 jeans!!!!!!!!!!!!!! For the first time in 4 years I'm wearing my size 12 jeans!!!! I realize that I haven't kept up the timeline and that I stop listing my weight. I think I topped out at about 180 when I went into labor. I was about 173 when I left the hospital. While I was in the hospital they kept pumping fluids into me by the ton, but they weren't coming out. My urine had been the color of Tang! My feet swelled up like balloons and I couldn't wear my shoes home. Well, after I had been home a few days I started peeing out all that water - my urine was crystal clear! I was down to 150 by the time Dagny was 2 weeks old. At that time I tried on a pair of jeans and was really upset that I couldn't get into them. It turned out I was trying on my 12's and not my 14's. A week later I looked at the tag first! Duh! I thought I was going to be in maternity clothes for life - even though they were falling right off me. But, this past week, my jeans and my shorts seemed really loose, so even though my weight hasn't changed in 10 weeks, I tried on my 12's and they fit!!!!! YIPPEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have 20lbs more that I would like to lose (or, rather, 3 dress sizes). This week Dagny will be 3 months old and old enough to leave in the nursery at the Y for an hour and a half, so I plan to start exercising and lifting weights again. I can't really do anything with my diet since nursing has turned me into an eating machine. I am so hungry all the time. I'm making Pete, a.k.a. The Bottomless Pit, look like a picky eater. It's insane. But, I guess Dagny is sucking all those calories right out of me. Now I face the ultimate dieter's dilemma... Do I go out and buy new clothes now, or do I wait??? My shorts are wearable, but really, really loose. I guess I'll go buy a couple of pairs. Sorry, no pics, but be sure to check out the pics in the previous post that I didn't send out mail about!
