Baby is now 5 months old, and I have 30 extra pounds hanging on. This didn't happen with my first two babies, so it's knocked me for a loop a little. With the other two, I ended up weighing LESS than I had before pregnancy... not so much this time around. I'm super protective about my milk supply, so hate to cut calories, but definitely not comfortable with how my body looks right now. I'm realizing how much my self-worth was tied up in my clothing size. Thanks for sharing your story, Amber. <3 I’m in the same boat! Baby is now 5 months old, and I have 30 extra pounds hanging on.

And everyone else already said it, but I agree, You are inspiring. You could've been writing about me. I have always been the small one in my family and among my friends. I never had to worry about what I ate or how active I was, I couldn't gain weight to save my life. But since I turned 40 (and I am 41 now!) I have put on enough weight that it makes me uncomfortable with my own body. I'm still small to most people standards, but it's not what I'm used to. I have gained almost 30 pounds in the last year and a half. (I JUST now counted that out, and now I'm really freaking out :/) Anyway, I would like to join the forum. Hopefully I can get a little inspiration there as well. Anybody I talk to in my life about it just doesn't take me seriously. Keep inspiring, Amber! God bless!! Amber, you are beautiful!

I too realized that once I bought clothes that actually fit me it was easier to lose the weight. While I still have a lot to lose, I have lost more than 50 pounds since last summer. It didn't happen overnight, but once I accepted me as I was, it was much easier. Hugs. Love this Amber.
