I am back to my normal size but have definitely changed shape... my hips are a lot wider (or is that my bum is a lot larger?!? we'll stick with the hips theory) so I can't fit my sister's jeans at all... yet she can borrow mine.

Good excuse for some retail therapy I think Anna.

P.S. If you put the clothes on trademe, let me know, I need stuff for work. ]]> Wed, 02 May 2007 19:49:04 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7113&PID=139356&title=when-to-stop-deluding-myself#139356 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7113&PID=138145&title=when-to-stop-deluding-myself#138145 Author: Maya

I kept one pair of jeans after Maya that I kept and dreamed of fitting, and finally did when she was about 18 mths or so. Then they got too big (yay!) so I ditched them, and I bought two brand new pairs about a month before I got preg with the gremlins (post m/c "feel better" spending spree). I'm keeping them, coz I know once I finally find my motivation I'll fit into them again.
Lost 1.6kg this week, was down 2kg earlier in the week but AF arrived and thwarted my efforts Only 14 more to go to pregremlin weight, then another 20 or so after that ]]> Mon, 30 Apr 2007 20:57:19 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7113&PID=138145&title=when-to-stop-deluding-myself#138145 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7113&PID=138127&title=when-to-stop-deluding-myself#138127 Author: Brenna

I have a fav pair of jeans that I can't fit, but also can't throw away I wish I can fit them again one day... before I had Brenna I was sport and fitness mad. But now I just love playing with her that the only exercise I do is one game of netball a week and somehow I don't think that will help get rid of my love handles I guess I can dream ]]> Mon, 30 Apr 2007 20:47:11 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7113&PID=138127&title=when-to-stop-deluding-myself#138127 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7113&PID=138106&title=when-to-stop-deluding-myself#138106 Author: yummymummy

I used to be a size 10 but lost heaps of weight (too much) after Hannah and went down to 8. I've only just passed those clothes on. ATM I'm a 14 and I'd just love to be a 12 again! Especially when I eye up all those clothes.

I kept ONE pair of trousers that I used to live in in my pre-baby days as a measure of how much weight I'm going to loose.... one day

But I agree with Deb, ditch what was "normal clothes" and buy yourself something nice to wear now

i had a box of clothes labelled 'after jack' clothes. these were the things i got too fat for just before i got preggy (like only 3-5kg too much) and had all intentions of wearing again after i had jack.........ya right!! i had an extra 10kgs to loose instead
after i had charli i was back to my pre-jack weight so i got the box back out and while they fitted ok, i looked 'too old' to wear them if you know what i mean....
get rid of them and get yourself something nice that you can wear now. that's what i'm going to do with mine, as soon as i can be bothered putting them on TM....too much kids stuff on there at the mo.

Ah Becca, such excellent tastes in names huh!!
And I am just slightly jealous, cause Iused to have boobs but since i finished feeding Kaia they have whittled away to next to nothing!

I kinda like the idea of selling them and one day fitting back in to new little clothes, maybe I should just quit whinging and do it? Sure wold free up a whole lot of space, but then my teeny wardrobe (by teeny I mean minimal) would look pitiful!]]> Mon, 30 Apr 2007 15:08:46 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7113&PID=137877&title=when-to-stop-deluding-myself#137877 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7113&PID=137874&title=when-to-stop-deluding-myself#137874 Author: Kellz

Yeah Becca, Im 1 to 2 sizes bigger than I was when I got preg.

Hmmm, before Kaia my logic was I am not gonna bother trying to lose weight (after Quinn) as I was hoping to do it all again ASAP, I never really went smaller than a 12.   

You know how people look in the mirror and see someone bigger than they really are? I am the opposite of this, I am always convinced i am really smaller than I look?!

What size were you before finding out Kaia was on the way? That might be a good indication as to what size you probably will be.

I'm doing something similar... I also have size 8 stuff, which I am going to get rid of as I think I will not fit them again. I was an 8 before having Josiah, but only just and that was when Kiya was 3.5yo!

OT, but how do you pronounce your daughter's name?

he he he. I know where you are coming from. I would chuck em or sell em and then buy some really nice ones you fit that you really enjoy wearing. chances are if you could fit the others again you would find they are out of fashion slightly anyway.

who wants to be size 8 anyway??? ]]> Mon, 30 Apr 2007 14:44:16 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7113&PID=137843&title=when-to-stop-deluding-myself#137843 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7113&PID=137839&title=when-to-stop-deluding-myself#137839 Author: Anna
