I gained 58 pounds by the end of my pregnancy with these boys, who are now almost six weeks old. The first 30 were shed with no effort on my part whatsoever—they just melted right off, lulling me into a false sense of security that the rest would be a breeze.
And then nothing. And let me just tell you my ego is SHOT. And today, I finally had a talk with myself and said, “Lady. Cut yourself some slack. You just had babies six weeks ago; you are already back to work. And nobody cares if you lose this weight now or in six months. This is life. And it is not always about you or how you look. Remember your children, your friends, your family and your clients. There is a much bigger picture here.”
