I've had this problem for a couple years now: I get lots of tiny holes in my shirts, right where the shirts hit the button and zipper on my pants. I assume this is because my belly is so freakin' big (and it never did this before, so I may have some leeway to blame it on pregnancies). I WANT IT TO STOP. Perfectly good shirts have been ruined by this, and it's irritating. Plus, my 4-year-old is always saying, "Mom, why does your shirt have holes?" because it's right at eye level for him.
Anyone else run into this? It's better if I wear a camisole under my shirt, but it's summer and I'm not interested in layering.
We're road-tripping tonight and tomorrow to see family in PA and NJ, then rushing home tomorrow night for my husband's partner's 50th birthday party. I'm sure I'll be a barrel of laughs by the time we hit that shindig. However, the guy is a total wine lover, so I imagine the wine calories I've been saving all week will be well spent there.
The scale this morning showed 216.4. Not a lot of movement going on here. I don't think I need a fill because I'm really tight in the morning and at lunchtime I'm still not able to eat a whole lot of solids (hence the black bean soup I have most days). I haven't eaten steak since before my surgery, I've had hamburger meat a couple of times when it's really crumbled, and I occasionally have chicken salad, although that hasn't gone down smoothly all the time.
I'm getting a little more into exercise and trying to drink more, which is easier in the summer anyway. Trying to ditch calories from alcohol because they're unnecessary. I'm probably snacking too much, and I haven't given up chocolate.
Any suggestions?
