Frustration!

Once again, this is taking too long!!! I had a good day, bought size 14 jeans and size 7 (12/14) undies! But still didn't weigh myself, can't do it, maybe this weekend. I am so frustrated with the belly fat, the rest of my seems to be gating fitter and firmer but my belly and love handles are so gross! I know I had kids but tons of women out there have kids and don't have all this flab, sorry if I am grossing you out. 
I didn't get to work out enough this weekend, what with me being sick and my girls being sick, so I am exhausted.  I did go out for a chilly 2.5 mile jog in the biting cold, it actually felt good, wish I could jog everyday.  My next goal is size 12 by Christmas! When I went to try on jeans today I was able to pull on a size 12 but couldn't get them zipped (because of my DANG BELLY FAT!!!). My ultimate goal was size 10 but I think I will be able to get to an 8 by next summer, can't wait to go swim-suit shopping. It was so nice to go shopping today, I didn't dread it. I didn't have to search for size 18 short (very difficult to find), there are no size 18's in petite and now I can finally buy petite, kind of makes me feel small. This would not be so bad, or so difficult if only I was like 5'4", life would be easier. I could weigh more and be healthy, I could buy average instead of short or petite. Life would just be easier, but that is actually something I can't change so I will learn to love my short comings (hahaha, punny). Ok gonna go sit by the fire and relax.

i know the feeling. my stomach is horrible. madeline is 9 months and I still look pregnant. other shirts make me look just overweight. I can squeeze into smaller jeans but the belly is just there. the butt and legs of pants are big and its frustrating. iuse belts to hold them up. anyway I heard a lot of good things from core rhythms. which i ordered from ebay on monday so Im waiting on that to get here. i read a lot of online reviews that said it helped them with their stomachs so im praying on that. if I get it and do it I will let you know what happens. jogging definately is supposed to help the tummy. its gonna take time, lots of it. it might take a year but look how great you are doing!!

It is good to hear you sound so comfident and determined. I know you can do it! You have come so far, and I know for you it seems like it hastaken a long time, but for me... well, you have doen so much and it seems like it hasnt taken mch time at all.
About the tummy thing, Heather is 2-1/2 and I still have a flabby tummy. I think I hide it well in my cloths and because I am tall, but it is definetly there. So many ladies have that problem, you are not the only one... oh if only we could all afford plastic surgery!
Keep it up girl! YOu are doing great!!!
Love, Meg
