Back in Weightloss Mode!!
What a year!!
Since my last post a lot has happened. 25th May 2006 I lost a little baby boy in the second trimester of pregnancy. Before that I thought I knew what heartache was, but boy was I wrong. I got down to 158.8kg then and my weight slowly gained once more. I always knew I was an emotional eater.
1 September 2006 I was married. Yes, it was a Friday but I wanted to get married on the first day of spring and I didnt want to wait another year for a traditional Saturday wedding. I am not a traditional type anyway. I weighed 171.9kg on my wedding day!!
When I got married I was just pregnant, and I mean just!! So my weight slowly went up. By the 13th wk of pregnancy I had a major bleed which I was later told I had miscarried a twin. But I remained pregnant and am now holding my bouncing baby boy.
Cameron was born on the 29th May 2007 weighing 4.64kg, 53.5cm long and a 39.5cm head. He was 12 days overdue as the doctors wanted to wait and try for a normal delivery as it would be much safer then another C Section. But it wasnt to be. I was booked in for another C Section when I was a week overdue. They actually wanted it to be on the 25th, but I broke down when and told them it was the anniversary of my baby boy Sams birth/death. So it had to be on the 29th, a year to the day I had to spread little Sams ashes. Quite an emotional time for all our family.
When I was 7 days overdue I weighed in at 199.7kg, then ballooned more over the next 2 weeks with the evidence of pre eclampsia once again. As much as I loved having babies grow inside me I knew this would be the last time my body could handle this while I was so morbidly obese.
But now its 15 days since Cameron was born and I have lost a few kilos and plan on going back to Weight Watchers as soon as I can move around a bit more. I had probs with the epidural last time and this time was no different. Still have what they call a Dura Headache, a headache that comes when I sit or stand and goes away when I lay down. All thanks to the epidural, which didnt work and had me crying in pain during the C Section. But this time I developed a lovely little problem (NOT!!) which creates great pain in your pelvis and now I cant walk unaided. The doctors assure me that this will get better over the coming months, but caring for a 28month old and a 2 week old while not being able to walk unaided is quite difficult. I am so grateful for my husband who is a tremendous help.
I need to take some time and meal plan and organise myself so that I actually eat at least 3 times a day and not once or twice like it has been in the last few weeks. I need to concentrate on my water consumption as well.
How is everyone else doing???
