I know you must be thinking that I'm secretly hiding a stash of Twinkies (Yum...Twinkies. No...Focus!!) in my closet and eat them while the baby naps, but you are wrong...on both things. I don't have a secret stash and the baby does not nap, thus not allowing me to binge. I think the only thing I splurge on once or twice a week is a glass of wine or a beer. But still...does that really sabotage my diet to the point where it has not moved in over 2 weeks?? I need to check the calorie content on a Heineken.
Also, I must admit. I have a personal competition with this other woman who lives in my block who just recently had a baby too, but she is looking way more svelte than me. Actually, everything about her is too perfect. I think I'm jealous. She has zero tummy. Wears Lycra (HELLO!! what woman who just gave birth wears Lycra??) to work out. Her hair is slicked back into a flattering pony tail, which details each salon highlight..no frizz in sight. How can her hair not frizz? This is Miami. Humidity capital of the world.
Also, she pushes one of those uber expensive Quinny strollers. I know they are all the rage, but who the hell can afford a $600+ stroller during these tough economic times? And I don't care what people say, those damn stroller will not be able to hold a child past the age of 2.
Anyways, this woman looks perfect, with her perfect hair and perfect Lycra workout suit and perfect stroller. I bet her child is perfect too and doesn't cry 18 hours of the day like mine. I on the other hand, wear my husbands t-shirts (X-large...if you must know) and my maternity pants with my ratty sneakers. My hair is a big frizz ball and my son is howling in his pedestrian Graco travel system like he's Superman and I made him lie in some kryptonite.
Damn you, you stupid scale!!! Just move!!
