Another Day Another Doughnut

Adventures in weight loss, that is what this post is about.......So most of you know I have recently had a baby, my third. Well I gained 55lbs with this pregnancy and have been working to take it off. It seems like an uphill battle, I nursing so I'm like starving all the time, and of course it's the holidays.....the season for fattness. I feel as if the world is conspiring against me. Everywhere I look there are treats to tempt me. Pumpkin bread, pie, candy........now I always start off the day with good intentions, and I do eat healthy since I'm nursing but wow, everywhere I go it seems like people are trying to get me to eat. I need a sign that says "can't you see I'm fat! NO, I don't want to sample a cookie!" My mom is the worst, I'll go over to her house and the only thing she has is cookies and cake. Or she'll have the kids over and they will bake cookies with her and she sends them home with a batch of homemade whatever. Then of course church is next, with their evening meetings of dessert and coffee. Or my skinny friends all saying "let's have a sweet swop" I just want to smack them across the face and say "I AM A MASSIVE BEAST! I CAN'T SWOP ANY DAMN SWEETS WITH YOU!" But of course this would be rude. I love my friends, I just get frustrated sometimes. My worst time is evening, after dinner. I get the munchies. When I try to go to bed I'm thinking "theres recees peanut butter cups in the kitchen" they speak to me, calling my name. And of course chocolate is my weakness, just plain good milk chocolate, mmmmmmm. Anyways so I've been trying to train for this half marathon with Molly, who is so good to put up with my fat ass. Sometimes I go so slow she can't even run as slow as me! And I've got all these new aches and pains. I feel like I'm limping instead of running. So these are just a few of my adventures in weight loss. Another day another doughnut, er, I mean piece of whole grain bread.
