I had a long night last night. I tossed and turned and just couldn't get comfy at all. Skyler was up punching, kicking or whatever her little self was doing was like for sure Kung Fu Panda in my tummy.
In the mist of all my sleepless torture, I had time to lay and think. When I got pregnant with Skyler I was 144 pounds. That meant I was only *24* pounds from reaching my surgeons goal weight for me. Now, I'm almost 25 weeks preggers and have only gained 4.8 pounds. I know I will gain more as this pregnancy goes on. That's fine with me as long as she is 100% healthy.
I can't help but wonder? After she is born will my body start losing again? Will I reach my surgeons goal of 120 pounds???
My family, friends and DH seem to think that 120 pounds on me at 5'3" is tooo skinny. I'm not sure? I would like to try and get down to that and heck, if it's too thin than I can add a few pounds back.
I was very, very happy at 144 pounds prior to getting preggers with Skyler. I was in a size 4-6 and ex-sm-small shirts. I still wanted to be a tad bit smaller. I want to be at my own goal, that's why I had this surgery.
I get really offended when people tell me you don't need to lose anymore weight. I think it's just because they were so used to seeing me obese for so many years that it's hard to grasp me being skinny and healthy.
Thanks for reading and listening. It helps to get things off you're chest.
