So this morning I stepped on the scale and BAM! Was down to 215! that was 3 lbs overnight

When I got pregnant with my 10 month old, I weighed in at 209 (unfortunately) and was very overweight then. In fact, i wasn't planning on getting pregnant until I was "in shape".... well, God had other plans!  I gained about 35 lbs in my pregnancy and on my due date I was 242.  I can't even BELIEVE that I was that HUGE!  I know, I know, I was pregnant, not fat.... But the fact of the matter is that I was FAT before I got pregnant!

I grew up always eating semi healthy, playing sports, and being fit.  Once I got married in 2009, that ALL went out the window.  Actually it started a lot sooner than that.  I played college soccer in 2001 and then transferred to an SEC school in 2002 (Roll Tide)  When I enrolled at the University of Alabama, I weighed 145.  I was too thin, though.  I had battled with an eating disorder that not many people knew of, took diet pills daily, and ran until I puked.  Once I got comfortable at UA, I realized that it was OK to put on a few pounds and I didn't have to exercise anymore if I didn't want to.  Well, I graduated in 2005 at a whopping 170.  It was pretty perfect for me.  Although I was always bigger than my friends and have always been "big boned" I still had confidence and thought I looked good.

I got married in 2009 and gained another 30 ish pounds.  Love and Marriage.  AKA Food and Beer.  AKA Comfort.  Yep, I completely embodied the stereotype of "getting comfortable in marriage"  My poor husband.  I have completely let myself go and I don't want to do that anymore!  I think it's important to try and maintain some level of "put together" for your spouse.  I'm sure he's tired of seeing me in baggy t-shirts and sweat pants by now.  Hence, another reason to do the HCG diet! Put some spice back into our life! The last thing on my mind is putting on something "sexy" and strutting around for my husband... He is so wonderful and still thinks I'm sexy (so he says) but I don't feel sexy at ALL. 

So here I go--- about to eat my lunch that will consist of Cucumber, leftover Tilapia from last night, and peach green tea.
