BakersDozen Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 your very outspoken 4yod walks into the bathroom and before you have time to jump in the shower (she never knocks) she says loud enough for the entire house to hear, "MOMMY! I SAW YOUR CHUBBY BUNS!!!" This is then followed by her reaching up to pat your still-there postpartum belly and asking if you are having another baby. sigh I was down to only 15 pounds left to lose but am back to 18 pounds. No motivation at all on my part to exercise and I would rather eat junk than healthy. Blech. I'm looking for some accountability, maybe from someone else w/a new baby and extremely honest dc? :D P.S. This 4yo is the same one who, on our walk the other day, was losing her flipflops and exclaimed, "Mama, mine shoes are running off of mine feet!!" Ah, children. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovedtodeath Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Sorry. I am no help, being now at my highest weight ever. Note how long I have had to lose the weight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remudamom Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 You don't need anyone else to hold you accountable with that kid around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nukeswife Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 I too feel your pain, but am no help. My baby is about to turn 4 in July and I've still got the weight from is big brother and sister to loose as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joannqn Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 I can understand. If I talk about weight, unhealthy weight, overweight or anything of the kind my son will pipe up, "Like you Mommy?" He's 7 and should probably know better but I have a hard time correcting him when he's oh-so-honest. Sometimes, his honesty is a little too much though...and not just about my weight.

battlemaiden Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 I'll play. And I have the outspoken 4yo to help me too.:glare: I'm horrible about actually holding other people accountable. I tried this recently with another virtual friend on this board and I failed her completely. [sorry] But I'm feeling the need to drop these last 6-10 pounds. I'm just out of my comfort zone of weight. I have buns and belly issues too. I'm not out of control, but I don't like what *I* see. The problem is, my body seems so resistant to drop scale weight while I'm nursing. :glare: Instead I'm going to focus on my fitness level. I haven't quite found that perfect rhythm to the week yet. Sometimes it is easier to go after dinner. Sometimes it works better for me to take several walks around the block during the day with the baby in the stroller and drilling an older child on their latin vocab- I'm a big believer in marching and vocab. ;) I've also hopped on my bike after lunch while the kids are cleaning up. I take one really fast loop through the neighborhood- it only takes me 10 minutes but it hurts my heart, so that must be good. Not that my buns show it. :001_huh: Those are my issues.

Lawana Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 And then there's the time dd6 says, "Your bottom needs a bra, Mama." What can you say to that? Lawana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom2boys Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Sorry. I am no help, being now at my highest weight ever. Note how long I have had to lose the weight. I feel your pain. And my "baby" is seven! :blush: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catalinakel Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 my babies are almost 11 and 12, and I still blame them for my extra weight. Plus, for the first time in my life, I nearly weigh 200......sobering......my daughter has taken to patting my fat arm and singing (from madagascar 2, I think) I like em big, I like em chunky......I wanna start walking two miles a day. Just that. but haven't committed to starting. yet. these sweet baby's honest voices may be just what i need to get out the door....how do we help one another?
