If I get asked ONE more time!!!

I started a new job about a month ago. I only work part time and have been asked now 7 times, that's right SEVEN, if I am expecting a baby. The first few times I just kinda laughed it off. I've been trying for the past few months to lose some weight. I am down 10 pounds in the last three months. Yeah it isn't a whole lot but 10 pounds every three months is still 40 pounds a year. Every time I get asked in my head I laugh it off and think in my head, "Golly I did just lose 10 pounds though". So last week a co-worker and I were in the break room and this is how our conversation went after akready being asked 6 times in the past two weeks:

Co-worker: So are you expecting
Me: No I'm just fat
Co-worker: Oh, you haven't lost all your baby weight
Me: I guess not, I have a two year old though

At this point I just wanted to disappear! My jaw just dropped. How could someone say that! I don't think I look pregnant and even if I was it isn't like I'm 8 months pregnant. *sigh* It is just extra motivation to shed the pounds and that is why I have created this blog.

Today is my day one of a weight loss challenge in my town. We go every week to weigh in on Tuesday nights. If you gain weight, you pay a dollar for every pound you gain. I have found this program to be very beneficial for me so that I stay on track. At the end of 12 weeks there is a cash prize for the one with the biggest percentage of weight lost. That makes it even better.

Tonight my starting weight was 230.2

I can do this!
