This is me at my "feel great" weight. Well, actually this is me at my "feel spectacularly amazing, but hard for me to maintain" weight. And, I exercised amidst studying for the bar exam. So, I have zero excuses.
Two weeks ago:
As you can see, I've really piled the weight on. Oh, and I must give a shout out to my dear friends who just got married! The husband and I were in the bridal party, how fun is that?!?! It was an amazing wedding. It's taken me a while to even post a picture of myself, but I'm just going to confront it head on. I HAVE GAINED WEIGHT. I DON'T FEEL GOOD ABOUT MYSELF RIGHT NOW. Are you hearing me, third-person Lynn?!?! Are you?!?!?!?

I'm right there with you...although at my wedding I was already bigger than I'd like to be.
Then I gained 20+.
Then I got pregnant.
In a few months, I'll be right back on the bandwagon with you - with a crap-ton of weight to lose.
For the record, though, I still think you look fabulous! :)
Lynn, there must be something in the water. You wrote how I feel! It's like I turned 26 and my metabolism decided to go on permanent vacation!
I think you look great too! But I totally am in your boat... I've gained 30 lbs since my 2007 wedding. *siiiiigh*
I think you looked beautiful on your wedding day and you look beautiful now!
But, if it helps (and this is no spam/promo), I have just read an Australian book by David Gillespie called "Sweet Poison" and "Sweet Poison: the quit plan". It is basically all about sugar and hidden sugars (specifically fructose and synthetic sugars) in our diets and why they are bad for us and make us put on weight by interfering with our appetite control system. Basically he would regard your breakfast/snack of spinach + juice + honey yogurt as unhealthy because of the high sugar content. The science of it gets complicated, but, since going sugar-free myself 6 weeks ago I have lost 5kgs without feeling like I have been dieting. Full fat cheese, creamy pastas, and croissants have all featured in the past few weeks so their is no feeling of deprivation. The hard part is withdrawing from sugar (kind of like tobacco withdrawal) which takes a few weeks. Anyway, enough of an ad, but it is worth looking out for.
