4 Pounds Lighter but Wearing Maternity Clothes

Today I weighed myself and I had to look about 10 times. I couldn't believe what the scale was telling me. Somehow between last Wednesday and today, I've lost 4 pounds. I weigh much less than the time before I became pregnant and a little less after my 2 horrible, terrible weeks on Phase 1 of the South Beach Diet this past June.

I'm really dumbfounded. Even the scale was 1/2 off of the zero in the positive section, which means I'm really 4 1/2 pounds lighter. I just don't know what's up.

Actually I do. I'm just not snacking. My stomach isn't up for it. And I'm not finishing my meals either. Saturday I got a Chick Fil A sandwich and fries for lunch and couldn't finish it. I ate about 3/4 of the sandwhich and 1/4 of the fries. I wasn't hungry anymore. Sunday, I had an episode with some pickles I ate a little too early in the morning. We had to turn the car around on the way to church so I could do some of my own personal praying to the porcelain god. I kept the Taco Bueno down at 2pm (thank goodness) but didn't want to eat again until 8pm or so.

Then I hit a major milestone. I wore a pair of Old Navy maternity pants that were passed down to me from my sister-in-law. I mainly wore them because they looked so dang comfy and it was cool enough to wear pants that night. I had a little stretching room but they stayed on my body with no problems.

So I'm confused. Wearing maternity clothes but losing weight. I'm confused, forgetful and pukey. Does Hallmark make cards for that? If so, send me one.

At least Friday I go to the doc so I can ask questions. I just have to make sure to get it all in during my allotted time. Nothing like trying to talk and ask questions while you are getting prodded in your privates.
