I'm no different than anyone else. I'm always trying to lose just a couple more pounds. After my first baby, I never got that last 15 pounds off, and I started my second pregnancy with more weight to lose than I should have. The good news is that pregnancy #2 weight came off quick and easy and now I'm working on pregnancy #1 weight. Maybe because it's older its more stubborn? I know my 3-year-old child is more stubborn than my 10-month-old child. Perhaps the same holds true for my stubborn chubbiness around the middle!
I've been playing around with the same 5 pounds for the last couple months. Up and down, and more up and less down. Seems like I can't breakthrough to below the 140s. The closest I've gotten is 141.4. Today I was 144.2. But that is down from just a week ago.
What I really wish is that I could just be content with keeping track of how my clothes fit and how I look rather than watching the scale. That I could just be happy with my increasing level of physical fitness. I think that would be so much healthier than tying my success and self-esteem to a digital reading. But I've always put stock in that reading and that probably won't change. I'm like an addict- I can't stop playing the number game!
