So I just got home from work and was getting ready to shower when I caught a glimpse of my naked body in the mirror. I was floored at what was staring back at me. My thighs looked hugeeeeeeeee! So naturally I go into the bathroom and decide to weigh myself...definitely not one of my best ideas. I had just weighed myself three days ago and had only gained a pound from the previous weeks weigh in. No biggie. Well, that didn't happen today. Instead the scale added five pounds in three days....five poundssss. I'm almost 130(i have always been between 115 and 119 pre pregnancy), I have never been even close to this and it upset me. I know I'm pregnant and I know I should be gaining, but I just wasn't prepared for it to happen so fast. In addition I'm exhausted, totally hormonal and feeling so not sexy these days it just made me want to cry. It didn't help that my husband kept saying "but honey you're pregnant so of course you're going to gain weight!" I know that, obviously...just look at me. But that doesn't make it any easier. I miss feeling good about my body and feeling sexy. Just because we as women know our bodies will go to hell for nine months doesn't mean it's easy. I'm sure I'm just really tired tonight and will feel much better about my weight gain in the morning. It also doesn't help that we are going out for burgers and shakes tonight knowing how much weight i have just put on....oh well life goes in...bring me some fries with that would ya!
