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.
We'll be in our bunk.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
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!!

sigh. I even like my current figure, I just wish my old clothes fit better because I can't afford to replace them all.

The status is NOT quo.
I'll third that sentiment.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
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
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.

The status is NOT quo.
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.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

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.

Punishingly Intricate
one of the best gifts I ever received was when the people in my church signed up and brought dinner every night for a week.
Thanks, Deena! That's a great idea.
Sounds like I might also should sign my friend up for some kind of post-partum makeover!
