For some strange reason, I can't seem to get motivated to exercise during the only 20 minutes a day when I don't have a baby in my arms. In between babies, I tried to ignore my weight. My logic was flawed. After I gave birth to my last baby, however, I realized that the moment of truth had finally arrived. Let me explain.
Pregnancy makes a great disguise for a large woman.
Of course, I didn't make the resolution to lose weight overnight. At some point during the past year, I morphed into The Incredible Shrinking Woman. I stopped thinking of myself as someone who is doomed to be fat forever, but rather as a fit person who is temporarily overweight. That shift in attitude has quite literally changed my life. Then I pretend to be that person.
