I Don't Own a Scale

So I dont own a scale. I haven't since I moved out of my moms house in the 90s. Partially because 1) I could not afford one at the time and 2) it would make me constantly obsess about my weight, which is something I did not want to do.

Fast forward 19 years. I still don't own a scale. I can afford one, but now I don't like clutter. And they don't make a modern looking scale to go with the house. And also I have grown out of the need to know if I weigh more or less every morning. I guess, if I took a huge morning dump, I would essentially be 5 pounds lighter. So it made no sense in buying one.

But now, I am curious...

I gained somewhere between 35-40 pounds when I got pregnant. I am sure a lot was water during the last month. My LO weighed only 6.6 when she was born. It has now been almost 4 weeks since the CS. And I have been a breastfeeding beast. I wonder wonder how much I weigh???

After 10 days, my belly shrank. I think I looked 4 months pregnant at that time. By the 2nd week, the swelling in the belly has vanished. By week 3, the upper part of my belly flattened out. And now I am hanging onto thicker love handles and a pouchy lower belly.

I have yet to try on my pre pregnancy jeans. I am not THAT stupid!

I was thinking I would would weigh myself at my 6 week post partum check up. But, if I had to guess, I think I have about 15 pounds to loose. I hope I am right, but I'll never know because my ass is too lazy to buy a scale!

So the breastfeeding thing. I have read it burns 500-600 calories a DAY! This is by far the EASIEST 500 calories I have burned on a daily basis. I would like to continue to EBF for another month.

For one thing, its better for the the LO. For another, I like how the wight is coming off. And another thing...I am too lazy to pump and clean bottles.

When did I get so damn lazy?
