Overweight at 24?

Yes, why as a matter of fact I AM. No, I am not happy about it. Believe me. But I don't want to see it plastered all over my MySpace homepage! I don't care if I am the only person who can see it. It screams, "FAT ASS." And I don't like it.
I am sure every girl can agree; We are never comfortable with our weight. No matter if we are 5'9" 125 lbs., there is always something there to pinch. For me, the whole child-bearing thing has killed my body. Not only did I gain 44 lbs. with my first child, but I didn't lose all of that before I got pregnant with the second. Actually I lost all but about 15 lbs., then gained about 25lbs. of it back. So I basically weighed the same going into my second pregnancy, as I did just before giving birth to my first child. That really sucked. The only good thing about all of that, was I lost all of the 22 lbs. I gained with my second pregnancy within 2 weeks of giving birth. But now. I am stuck at the weight I was at giving birth/finding out I was pregnant. Do you think it's my body telling me that this is what I am going to look like for the rest of my life? That is, before everything else starts to sag? Damn. If I were to lose weight, I would definitely need a tummy tuck. I can already see it. Losing about 20 lbs., and stuffing my saggy skin into my jeans. Gross.

Oh BOY!

I have watched Twilight a few times online, of course it's not the best quality, but I was dying to see it. I couldn't wait for it to come out in my 1 screen theatre in my home town. Well, it's finally out! And yes, I am going to go see it.
I wasn't so sure about it when everyone was talking about the books, I'm usually not a book reader. Until my sister-in-law got Twilight, the first book. She finished it just before Thanksgiving. I asked her to borrow it, needless to say I was done with it that night. 400+ pages. I couldn't put it down. I had to find the New Moon, the second book. So while shopping on Black Friday, I bought it. And I was done with that one Saturday afternoon. Now, dying to get Eclipse, the third book, my husband and I went shopping on Sunday, and it was no where to be found. Four stores, and nothing. What was I going to do?! My very good friend Kimm, of Where's Waldo, had the books on her computer. She oh so kindly sent them to me, and I was onto reading Eclipse. I have never been into a series of bookd before in my whole life! Needless to say I finished Eclipse Wednesday, and I was onto Breaking Dawn! Breaking Dawn only ruled my world for another day and a half. I then found the copy of Midnight Sun that Stephenie posted on her website. I finished that in about 8 hrs. But since reading the series, I now have unrealistic expectations of men. Sorry love!
