I think post-partum makeovers should be a routine part of childbearing and covered by insurance. Drat it.
ha ha. So true. The real problem is that the post-partum figure is totally different from the pre-partum one. (And my figure now is different than it was after Frances, too.) I'd say 2/3 to 3/4 of my old clothes don't fit right, but I'm still wearing them.
Burrell, that's my issue, too. I fit into a lot of my pre-Emeline clothes, but they don't fit as well on this body as they did my other one.
And short of actually exercising and eating better, they aren't going to.
Don't push the
red button
Whee! Lightning storm over the city! I have a good view from my desk. Until I leave to go home in a few minutes. I may not enjoy it then.
...Another one! Wheee!!
And short of actually exercising and eating better, they aren't going to.
sigh. I even like my current figure, I just wish my old clothes fit better because I can't afford to replace them all.
I'll third that sentiment.

Yep. And yup to the can't afford to replace 'em--and my bod won't be done changing until I'm no longer nursing, so I can't justify buying things that I'd only wear for a short time unless they have access slits.
Just to clarify--I'm thirding the sentiment of not being able to wear most of my professional clothes and yet also not being able to afford to replace them. I obviously do not have a partam--pre or post--to blame. I just moved to California, starting eating Mexican food and being really stressed, and gained a crapload of weight.

This is an issue for me, too. Oh, not the California bit - but I do NOT want to think about the results of me standing on the scale in the doctor's office yesterday.
