I've never really posted all that much about my personal journey of the last couple of years. I've been meaning for a while now to actually *lay it down*, so to speak. So, here goes. Where to start? I guess, I'll start with the arrival of my fourth child, baby J, in July 2009. I didn't gain much more weight than I had with Miss Lily, three years earlier, but I discovered that the weight wasn't just 'falling off' this time around. Could be that I was a bit older, or just a lack of exercise, or eating crappy food....probably all three. October 2009, Baby J in the wrap December 2009 So anyway, I wasn't terribly concerned, being in the newborn daze that I'm sure all parents remember well ;) As time went on, I noticed that my weight was creeping up, and I was always feeling exhausted, sluggish and just....meh. I believe I reached my heaviest point in my life, even *including* pregnancy, in August 2010. I refused to weigh myself (lol),
