while it probably didn't appear so to most people, i actually put on 15kg during my pregnancy. FIFTEEN!! i guess it didn't show much because 15kg on my rather large frame is nothing when compared to a petite girl with the same weight gain.
in fact, most people probably didn't realise i was pregnant till i was 5 months along because i was quite compact (how baby turned out to be a big 3.5kg still mystifies me) and i still wore my old clothes till quite late into my pregnancy.
post delivery, while more than half of the weight came off in the first week or so, the weight stopped dropping off after awhile. that was quite depressing and i stopped weighing myself.
but somehow without me trying that hard, i am now able to fit into my pre-pregnancy clothes again. yes, even those pencil skirts i wear to work which i only tried on the day before starting work .... so i am rather pleased. after all those horror stories about taking a year or more to lose all the weight gained during pregnancy, it feels great to feel like my body is almost back to normal again. i say ALMOST because there are still some jiggly bits here and there.
[post script: i just weighed myself for the first time since a long time ago, and those jiggly bits are weighing 2kg! time to lose those two stubborn kilos so that i can get back to my pre-pregnancy weight.]
