FAT

I am hoping that I can drop this excessive baby weight this summer. I had Annabelle 4.5 months ago and there is still around 10+ lbs hanging on. I am breast feeding and have read conflicting things regarding weight and bfing. Some say you "should" expect to lose the weight faster when bfing while other books say you will not lose it until after you have stopped due to your body needing that fat. I was not a small thing to being with but I had been going to the gym everyday and getting more toned. When I gave birth I weighed over 100 lbs more than I did in high school. Can you believe that? To me it is unbelievable. Of course I was carrying a very large baby and had lots and lots of fluid. If you didn't see my ankles before I gave birth you really missed out. The books all said to be prepared to look about 5 or 6 months pregnant when you leave the hospital after the birth of your baby. I thought "alright, I can handle that, I didn't even look pregnant then." The books were wrong, (again!), I probably looked 8 months pregnant when I left and now still look more pregnant than I did at 5-6 months. In many ways it is funny. Annabelle was worth every pound that I added and can't get off. But I would really like for my pants to fit again, I paid a lot of money for some of them lol. I can get in one pair of old jeans even if they were too big before I will still take that as an accomplishment. I am giving myself 4.5 more months to get rid of it before I take drastic measures. And by drastic I mean dieting. I don't over eat now, but my prenatals do make me very hungry. I am in no hurry to end bfing but am curious to see what my body is going to do when that happens. My luck I will gain about 20 lbs...that happens I'm getting lipo.
