Raw and Honest Blog of a New Single Mom

I am a single mother of a biracial baby boy just trying to make it on my own. This journey is hard, yet rewarding. Blogging is my therapy, these words are my heart, and people doing better and being inspired by what I have written is my passion and hope.

The Dreaded Baby Weight

Posted on | September 4, 2009 | 1 Comment

There’s only so long I can use the excuse “I just had a baby” or “Hey! I gained 70 lbs throughout my pregnancy” to explain my ill-fitting clothes, muffin top, jiggly gut, wide ass, fat thighs .. and so on.

There’s only so long that I can give into cravings and eat 4 whole Snickers bars in one sitting for dessert after devouring a cheeseburger and french fries from Friday’s and say it’s just hormonal cravings.

Frankly, I’ve had enough! Being a fat blob isn’t me and it definitely isn’t anywhere near that hot, MILF body I envision myself someday! (LOL) So I’m giving it up and today I’m starting over. For real this time. No more excuses. No more giving up. No more failing.

I’m even posting my before and after pictures to get things started. (Click to make them larger if you want)

After serving him hot, fresh and toasty:

There. I’ve put myself out there. October I have to post new pics of my current body and if I don’t look at least slightly different .. you guys, my readers, can e-kick my ass and call me Fatty Cakes or Chubby Wubby or Lard Ass or something to make me realize how much I suck.

I wasn’t exactly happy with my pre-baby body, but I hope to get back there by Christmas .. and then better by my birthday. My goal is to be more lean and muscular .. but that’s so far off for now. I just want to worry about the fat first and losing it.

I won’t bore you guys with workout talk and specifics of my beta-planned routine, so I’ll just leave this by saying “Hai thurr, MILF-Bridgette .. I’m coming to get ya, baby!”
