Our 2nd child was born 8 months ago. My wife mentioned one day,"It could take 9 months to lose all this weight". I remember thinking it could take 4 months if she worked at it, but I knew better than to say anything ;).
Now it's 8 months later. There won't be some miracle in the next 30 days. I feel bad, but I also feed bad for feeling bad. The bits of Oprah and Dr. Phil I watch have told me people need to lose weight for themselves and not for other people. I see her put cheese on eggs, ranch on everything, midnight snacks AND she eats more quantity and more often than I do. Seems like she doesn’t care about getting back in shape.
She is 5’3” and went from 130 to almost 180. I was never looking for a Size 4 but, damn, she’s outgrown TWO sets of clothes since we met. My (secret) rule for women has always been “no woman with a gut bigger than mine”. She is way past that and I don’t know what to do. I am not comparing her to other women. I am comparing her to HER, just 3 yrs ago.
