Hey Chelsea. Did you gain weight after your pregnancy? I didn't really gain any and I had lost all what I put on but it just went to my stomach and hip area. It's like all the stress I have is keeping it there. My
freakin body shape changed
I can see how you need motivation. It is going to be pretty hard trying to eat healthy with 2 jobs and school and a child. What do you normally do for your meals? My Boyfriend works alot and goes offshore so alot of times I won't cook while he's gone.
No use messing up a kitchen just for me to eat and my little girl to peck at. I usually pick something up like
fried chicken and fries, burger meal, sub, fajita salad. I have been trying to eat the healthier ones now and trying to cook a little more. I buy chicken breasts (boneless skinless) and cook those and a vegetable when I do cook for just myself. Now when my boyfriend is home it's another story. We eat bar-b-que, steaks, alot of stuff you probably wouldn't know about since you don't live here like gumbo and etouffe (rice and gravy stuff) I don't eat alot of junk food unless I all of a sudden
crave it which is once every few weeks and then I go all out and buy chips and dip and oreos and stuff like that. Since I live in my own house and do the grocery shopping it's
ALOT easier staying away from foods like that and it also helps my girls to eat a little better. We go out to eat alot too while he is home which is puttin a hurtin on our checkbook so I wanna try to cut that out. I would say I can share some good cajun recipes with you but they are all really high in fat. All the gravies we cook are drenched in cooking oil. That's how I gained 40 pounds since being with my boyfriend because his mom cooks in 3 inches of cooking oil I swear. My
b/fs sister's boyfriend (haha) was one of those skinny people who could eat and eat and never gain weight until he started eating there alot too and he also gained 40 pounds.
Where do you live? What kind of work do you do? Girl I don't know how you have the time to do all that and
still keep sane. It is so frustrating at times having a kid and priorities when all your friends are going out and having fun. It doesn't seem like you have time for FUN... and
I really don't either.
I was in school when my little girl was 7 months and I had to stop cuz I didn't have anyone to watch her while I studied and stuff. I was going for teaching and I stopped one day when I babysat 2 other kids and had my own. I just don't have patience with other kids anymore. They are getting to be so bad. These kids were 11 and 9 too.
So I love looking at houses and selling things and I got my real estate license. It was a 2 week course and
I love it. It is very easy and a good job.
I am glad you replied. Thank you. Now let's see if you read all this
