I Just Signed Up for The Nutrisystem Nation Blogger Program #NSNation

I have been keeping a terrible secret. My son will be six months old in just two days, and I'm still wearing my maternity pants!  This is a horribly embarrassing thing to admit. All my life I have been able to stay thin without really trying. Even after I had my first two children in 2000 and 2002, I was back in my regular jeans in just a few weeks. But I guess my metabolism has really slowed down in the last ten years. Before I had Willow, I was about 125 pounds. This is wedding picture of me in March of 2009. I became pregnant with Willow a few months later.

Willow has born in Jan of 2010. I gained more weight with Willow than I had during my previous pregnancies. I was 145 after I delivered. For months after she was born, I struggled to get back to my pre-pregnancy weight. It wasn't until December of 2010 that I was actually able to squeeze into my old size 7 jeans. But it was squeezing--I had to hold my breath and still couldn't wear them in public because there was a little excess hanging over the sides. Not a pretty visual,  I know.  I was 135 pounds then--still ten pounds over my regular weight. And do you know what happened next? This!

Yep, you guessed it. I found myself preggo again. It was quite a shock since we were using multiple forms of protection. Of course I love my little Stinky and wouldn't change a thing, but he did leave me with a little more excess baggage. I was almost 160 pounds when I finally had him. And here I sit, six months later, fluctuating somewhere between 148 and 150 and desperate to get my figure back before beach season hits.  This is me now.

Don't look too hard. I wouldn't want anyone to go blind. I don't think my insurance will cover that...Anyway, I'm hoping all this is going to change now, thanks to Nutrisystem! I have never tried a diet before...I never really needed to.  I don't have the discipline to do it on my own without some guidance. Nutrisystem offers exactly the type of program I need. They provide the meals, so there is no measuring cups and and no cooking required (Did I ever tell you all I married chefs twice to avoid cooking).  Plus, there is an online support system where you can chat with other members, track your weight loss, and get advice from experts. With a little help from Nutrisystem, I am betting that by the end of the four month blogger program, I will be back in a size 7, and even ready to show the world that a mom of four can still look hot in a bikini. Not a thong bikini though-that is just wrong no matter how thin you are. 

I am expecting my first shipment of food to arrive in about a week to ten days. Once it gets here, I will be posting weekly updates. I'll be tracking and sharing my weight loss experience, but I will also critique the food, talk about the website, and probably babble a little about nothing in particular.  It should be lots of fun, and I am looking forward to sharing this experience with my readers.
