Zero Months Pregnant

OK, I DID IT!!!  I posted a picture of my post pregnancy belly and weight.  Freedom!  YEAH!!  This is very liberating.  This is my belly after it gained, then lost 50 pounds during pregnancy, after it lovingly held and protected a baby the size of a Hummer, after it Yogaed, Pilated, and sit uped for an entire year to try and get it to go “back down.”   I have lost all my pregnancy weight, but I have yet to lose my belly.  I have hated my belly, and like a bad prom date, it never got the hint when to leave. 

In 2009 I am commiting to the opposite.  I am going to love my belly, cherish it, and cherish myself in hopes of a healthier, happier body in the New Year.   I have contained the belly behind Spanx, strapped it in with shapers, and furiously held it back with control top hose. Neither my belly or I enjoyed it at all.  I was sad, embarrassed, and frustrated.  Now I am freeing her to be what she is and I encourage you to do the same.  I am not hiding anymore.  Yes, I do want a flatter belly.  Yes, I want to further tighten up my post pregnancy body. 

How is the question.  Weight Watchers?  Surgery?  Who knows.  Didn’t Kate Gosselin get a free tummy tuck after some poor doctor took pity on the woman after she exposed her belly on national television after she delivered six children,at once.  Worked for Kate.  Now I didn’t carry six children at once, but Lucas was still BIG!  Really big.  Just saying.

Call me Kate. 

Can I get the number of that doctor.
