Hi everyone- I am back

Hi! I have been out of town- and unable to log on while at work- well I am finally back in sync- and back online. This weekend at my parents hosue did not go as I intended-- I didn't excercise, ate poorly, and drank way to much! I started my TOM yesterday- and was simply ravenous for food today-- I had chips and pizza (at least it was veggie) I have made a commitment to myself and God to get back to track starting right now. I will get up and go to the gym tomorrow- despite the cramps. I will eat the menu I planned- and not binge at my church group tomorrow night. I will be more energetic and perky at work- because I like myself more that way.

I need to help in staying strong on another front. I have the baby fever. My locig self tells me to wait-- I have only been married 6 months, and we have so many things we want to do together before we bring a baby into the world. (Not the least of wich is lose 135 lbs) Usually I am the one who is --aww look at the baby, I want one...well tonight- DH- out of the blue says-- yeah I kinda want a baby now!!! WOAH! So I need to remember that I know in my heart it is not the right time- and not let my selfish desire for a baby win-- because of that very reason-- I am way to selfish right now to have a baby!! anyway- sorry for the rant.. I hope everyone is doing grand!

I sooo here you because for a strange reason that baby fever is starting to rub this way.. I mean for both of us dh & me.. and it doesn't help that my sister had a baby 6 months ago.. she's too cute to resist LOL.. In my mind I want to wait till I"m a bit smaller because last time towards the end of my pregnancy I was hardly able to walk and my bp was all over the place.. (I started at about 190 lbs but ballooned to 260 by the end.. quite a record huh?)


Why don't you set a reasonable goal? I mean you don't have to wait until you lose all the weight you know.. maybe set a goal AND a date and once you reach it you can start


Hang in there

Could be worse gals......You could have that fever knowing you will never have more?? I have 3 but still the older ds gets the more I want, and I really do miss that sweet baby stage. I know lots with new babies they are just too far away. LOL I got fixed after Ds due to having a rough time with my last two and the fact that dh said 3 was enough and I can't take BCP!! LOL Oh well...........


Then there are times I am glad I am through and can't wait for the kids to get a little older so we can have a little couple time without them...LMAO DD is finally getting to the maturity level and such I can leave middle one with her, then that leave ds. LOL


Oh well....jsut another rambling from me..................

Not to be a wet blanket, but if by chance you have trouble conceiving the docs will be all over you about your weight! One of my doctors made me feel like it was my fault I couldn't get pregnant because I was overweight and I was below 200 at the time. (Oh yeah, and when we found out after tons of testing that DH has a rare birth defect that was the source of the problem, it's not like anyone admitted to being wrong or apologized for being rotten.) Whatever the path, it will go smoother if you can get your weight down, sweetie! Maybe you and DH should take a cold shower this weekend to get rid of the fever. Tee hee...Annie

I have never had a baby but I am 318 lbs. 12 years ago today I was 100 lbs I was 17 then. Big difference. I believe it is always best to lose weight before having a baby. I knew people who had a hard time with it.
