I'm Going to Lose Weight


You know what? If Jessica Alba is in her third trimester how in the hell can her belly bump be so small?! I've just entered my 6th month, so I'm a month off till I'm in the third trimester. Yet I am a heifer. Granted, first babies tend to be smaller and this is my second, so she does have that advantage. Plus she was going to the gym every ten seconds. But still. It doesn't make me feel good at all.

I have noticed that I look totally different. Like, my face has gained weight. Eww. At my best, I'm 56ish kgs. Right now I am 69kg. WTF? Before I was pregnant, I weighed about 60kgs. I was fairly happy with how I looked. Now I avoid mirrors like they're brussel sprouts. I totally hate how I look. I feel so frumpy. I don't look good, therefore I don't feel good. And the only way I'll feel good about myself is if I look good.

Hence my new ingenious plan to lose weight. That's right, I may be pregnant but I'm going to do it. Doctors do allow overweight pregnant ladies to lose weight to better their health, and since I weigh more than I usually do, I can class myself as overweight. I'm not going to do anything crazy. I'll keep it simple: excercise daily and keep an eye on my diet. That's all. Nothing drastic, I'm not going to do anything to harm my baby. I'm not, like, stupid!

So I weigh 69kgs now. My gaol is to whittle down to 65kgs or, failing that, just NOT gain anymore weight at all. AT ALL. So once the baby pops out I'll be able to get down to 56kgs easy peasy. Yay!
