The Consequences of a Plus One - Part Two

I know what you are all thinking, where is part one, well I wrote part one like 3 years ago and maybe one day I’ll share it with you guys. So let’s get started, today I am writing about a topic that I have seen happen to so many people that I should not be shocked that this happened to me, but here I am doing 100 squats a day trying to reverse this atrocity that has occurred. Yes that is right I am talking about weight gain, to be specific “Post Wedding Weight Gain”.

Being a plus size child, you cannot begin to imagine how excited I was when I finally lost the weight, nothing gave me greater joy than being able to shop from the front of the rack. Oh happy days… And because I was so happy I did my very best to stay that way. Yes I yo-yoed over the years, I would go up then come down, go up then come down multiple times, but nothing gave me greater joy than the fact I was always a stable size no matter what.

So you can imagine my horror when I tried on one of my dresses and it would not fit. And by that I mean it did not go down my hips. I remember that moment clearly, I thought myself this has to be a mistake, something must be caught somewhere, this dress cannot not fit me. #sniff. But alas I was lying to myself the dress did not fit and I had to face my reality. I had gained weight.

Trust me I came up with a plan, this weight was going to disappear just like the other times it is nothing I cannot handle. Omo I was wrong oh.. one month into my elaborate plan and I had gained even more weight choi.. the devil can like to be a liar.. this weight will disappear by force or by fire. But nothing I tried seemed to work and was almost giving up when it came to me like 3 women gossiping discussing on a dining table well because that is how it happened, “THE MEN ARE TO BLAME”!!!!!

Humour me for a second, post saying “I do”, we women are usually in the peak of our physical condition with Hot! Hot!! Hot!!! Bodies, everything is as it should be. Then we say “I do” and next thing we know that belly start to protrude and those hips are looking hipper (yes it is a word). And what is the key difference, these men that eat 3 square meals a day, making us eat more, these men that want to cuddle after every meal, which makes us less active. These men with bigger portion sizes that we unconsciously use as our new basis so our portion sizes get bigger. These men that make eating ice cream and other junk food ok, so we do it too. #crying this is so unfair…

Anyway there is no use crying over spilt milk, I made my bed or in this case I put the spoon in my mouth so now I have to deal with it. The only solace I can get from this is that it is slowly happening to them too. I can see that belly starting to form under that shirt… mwhahahahaha. Ok back to reality and my squats… Kia!!! 100 squats, I better get started 100..99..98..97..96..95..
