Thanks, you're so sweet. I wish I felt that way....this last 20lbs of baby weight is really wrecking havoc on my confidence. I just don't know where to start. How did you do it?
the first time i got really sick and the weight dropped off (ironically, that's when all the symptoms i was telling you about first appeared).
the second time i gained it while i wasn't able to get around because of my back surgery. i put on about 35 lbs (i was at 155). i just slowly changed my eating habits little by little, drank more water, snacked less, controlled portions, exercised as best i could.
one thing - sometimes when your body is telling you that you're hungry you're actually thirsty. try drinking water before eating to check, lol. i also drink water while i'm eating to help fill me up quicker.
i also "reward" myself for hitting certain milestones. like for hitting 140 i bought myself some pumpkin scented hair conditioner and leave in treatment (OMG my hair smells like pumpkin pie when i'm styling it, lol). for 130 i'm going to get a professional dye job, and for goal i'm getting my nipples re-pierced. you gotta be strict with yourself tho, lol. no caving in!
