This time of year of fantastic in so many ways--Christmas music, delicious spiced smells, parties, shopping--and yet so awful from the perspective of looking down at the scale. I thought I did considerably well after the Thanksgiving week and I felt pretty great! But come Cyber Monday morning I find myself 5 lbs heavier. FIVE POUNDS!!! I can't tell you the wretched feeling that came over me seeing that number--the number I saw when I went into the hospital to deliver my oldest son!!! Who is this monster that has eaten the real Megan?!
It's been two weeks since then and I still feel rotten. I know this is a joyous time of year, but, c'mon, how can I find joy when even my maternity clothes don't fit well? Oh how I would love to slip into a pair of non-maternity jeans that hug me in all the RIGHT places:)
I apologize for not writing for over a month now. I obviously have been a bit down on myself. We're going through some major life changes with my sweethart graduating soon and beginning a new job. This means that money, my clothing, and my schedule are pretty tight right now. I constantly tell myself, "Everything would be better if. . ." But the truth is if I don't change my habits under the difficult circumstances then I will hardly be able to change them when life becomes even more difficult. And from my experience, life doesn't get simpler--only more complicated. Changing unhealthy habits during the holidays is possible. It may not be fun, but then again is gorging yourself on candy and treats til you're completely sick really FUN? I think not. Pulling up those non-maternity jeans (or even attempting some sexy lingerie) would be FUN.
Merry Holidays everyone.
