Let me just give an instant disclaimer by saying that I can’t wait to be a mom.
Ok, now on with the show.
I woke up this morning and realized that I have unknowingly welcomed a strange layer of fat to every inch of my body. While there is more concentrated in some areas than others, there still seems to be no part spared; right down to my toes. It’s nice to suddenly grow a pair of big, youthful jugs, and the junk in the trunk that I have been wishing for my whole life is not so unattractive, but ankle fat? Fat on my underarms? Fat on my lower back? Excuse me, no thanks.
I know that “fat” is relative and by most peoples standards I need to just shut my trap….but this whole pregnancy weight thing really has my panties in a wad.
The past few days all I want to do is run. Run a lot. Lots of miles. Run and not stop running until my ankle is back to normal size.

With obesity jumping off of the charts portion control is needed now more than ever. We all tend to over eat and stuff ourselves until it’s uncomfortable but this is a contributor for easy weight gain. Some creative designers have come up with an easy way to avoid this problem! Portion control dining sets have recently hit the shelves and are all the rage. Take a look at the blog that I read http://blog.healthyeats.com/blog/2009/03/03/portion-plates-and-bowls/?nl=EATS_030409_20
This is SUCH a great idea and an easy way to control how many calories you are taking in and how much of each of the food groups you are and should be eating. I wish I had thought of this myself!
