Fat Fast
When I was a teenager I knew everything. Even if I didn’t know something I pretended I did. And that made life easier. No curve ball being thrown at me because I knew where it was coming from and who sent it. Sometimes I wish I could regain some of that confidence or ignorance. I got pregnant with my son when I was 19 years old. I was not scared about the pregnancy and not even scared about taking care of him. I ate what I wanted and I gained a mere 24 pounds. I know awesome. Mind you I am no skinny minny I was pretty much a size 14-16 my entire life. No matter what diet I went on and how much I exercised this is about the weight I remained. Until 2005 when I went on the atkins diet and lost a tons and got down to a size 12. Sometimes a 10. I liked these numbers. Then I got pregnant with my daughter and she was a twin (I lost the other twin) but I took to heart eating for 3 and gained 90 pounds. Ouch. I know. My body hated me and I didn’t particularly like it. But I had my daughter and breast fed for awhile then went back on the Atkins and lost 110 pounds. I lost like a person. Did great. Until I got pregnant again and immediately gained 25 pounds. And then lost the baby. Well I didn’t feel like going on a diet and I didn’t care if I was chunky or plain old fat. Until like July this year, got the ball rolling again lost 10 pounds and BAM pregnant again. So far I have gained 10 pounds. Well to be fair I do have to eat carbs. So I know that I would gain some right away. Well I will just eat as healthy as possible and hope for the best. There’s always the Atkins after I have the baby.
