Weight has always been a struggle of mine. Throughout high school and college, I was a slave to my scale, diet pills and workout videos. While it was comforting for me to have my weight under control, it was always a ton of work.
Like many women, when I got pregnant I took eating for two to the extreme. It was so liberating to not feel like I was doing something wrong by eating. And eat I did. During my last trimester with Mooka it was not uncommon for me to polish off a box of Little Debbie's a day. I was able to lose most of the weight from her, but then six months later, I was prego with Baby Bear. I have had good intentions for the past three years, but have not been able to budge the scale.
This morning after a wonderful enlightening conversation with Mooka, I have new motivation. The conversation went something like this...
Mooka - "Mommy, why do you have boobies on your back?"
Nuf said.
The DJ at this party...
- JMom
- Mom to two amazing kids who are teaching me as much about life as I am attempting to teach them. I may not always get it right, but I am having a great time trying.
Mooka
The girl - a mini replica of my personality which is quite the dangerous thing. She is very nurturing but will not hesitate to let you know exactly how she feels.
Baby Bear
The boy - my mirror image. He is very caring, super sensitive and loves to make people laugh.

I just had a little enlightenment myself... You know those mirrors for rear facing car seats? Yeah so as I glanced back to check on Sugar Bean I got a glimpse of the back fat that was overtaking my drivers seat. But I am taking the practical approach, It is apparent my attempts to slim down are futile, but Lane Bryant just put out a new bra designed to hide backfat. the front feels a little like the girls are sitting in Styrofoam but my back is as flat. Mission accomplished.
