This next entry is very shallow and callous of me. I understand that and I'm forewarning you.
I absolutely love that every girl that I went to school with, got HUGE after having their first child. It kind of seems like karmas way of punching them in the face! Every single female that was a bitch to me has gained at least 30+ lbs after having their kid. I have had people that I haven't seen since junior high come up to me in disbelief that I've actually lost weight since I had my daughter. So now while I sit back and just laugh at these bitches I can't help but feel slightly smug.
I went out with some friends this past weekend and some one that went to school with my older brother didn't even recognize me. Once I explained who I was, he kind of looked me up and down with a "daaaaaaaaaammn" kind of look and said, " you really grew up didn't you?!!?" I can't even begin to describe how good that made me feel.
This sort of thing always amuses me, too. While I have yet to have any children myself, I'm fairly certain I won't just let myself go after-the-fact like my personal life is over.
ReplyDeleteYou are a testament to women everywhere that you can be a mom and an attractive woman simultaneously. The two are not mutually exclusive. Becoming/remaining a heifer after childbirth is no one's fault but their own, imo.
What also amuses me are all the women I went to high school with who are fatties now and haven't even had kids. They can't even use pregnancy as an excuse.
It makes me snicker, which is totally shallow, but it's not as if they have no control over the problem. It's their choice to continue being fat.
P.S. Can't use a medical condition as a scape goat either. My aunt who has every medical condition in the book (i.e. diabetes, underactive thyroid) working against her weight has managed to stay in shape.
