Hello there my dear, dear Ms. Pre-Baby Weight,

It has been far too long since we last met. Two years to be exact. I've been busy growing and birthing a child amongst other important child-rearing things. But two years? That's no way to treat a good friend, don't you think?? I think so, that's why I'm terribly sorry it took me so long to come around. You see, besides all of that child-making/birthing/rearing stuff, I pretty much just really like cake and other delicious things a lot. But I have changed my ways, rearranged my priorities, and now you and your healthy self are more important to me than that selfish Mr. Second-Helping of who-knows-what that always stayed way past his welcome and in the worst of places... like my thighs. In the words of someone from some movie, "Company are like fish, after three days, they stink." That's you, Mr. Second-Helping-Thighs! Blast those darned thighs. Down with thighs! Okay maybe not, they are important for other things... down with unnecessarily large thighs! Yeah... so seconds, that was something I gave up to have you back into my life. I also cut back on my beloved treat intake. I know, crazy right? You'd be surprised to see what kind of self control I have now! Heck, you may not even recognize me without my cheeks stuffed with chocolate chips, cake in my hair, and cookies orbiting around my head! I should also mention that I've made some new friends since you left. Their names are Tony and Shaun-T. We work out 6 days a week and if I'm lucky and the weather is nice they take the day off and I go for a run. By the way, now that you're back you're going to like running so much more, I promise! I know beforehand you would get upset and cramp up and yell at me for lugging you around... but now that we've lost Mr. Second-Helping-Thighs (well, kinda) and Mr. Ten-Too-Many-Pounds we will be able to run with ease. And with zero mocking too... ya know, when the thighs get a clapping and cheering us on. Doesn't it sound great!? It will be, don't worry. Well, now that you know the effort that I put into having you around I think it's only fair that you get comfy and stick around for a while, ya? I'll feed you healthy foods, introduce you to my new friends, dress you in well-fitted clothes, and heck, we'll even pay a visit to the Chocolate House now and then... because I 100% believe in moderation. And what's moderation without a little Chocolate House?? For reals though.

Anyway, just thought I'd let you know that I missed you and it's so good to have you back. 

Your biggest fan,

Katelyn

p.s. do you think our good friend Ms. Pre-College Weight would be down with paying us a visit? That would also be lovely. Too bad Ms. Pre-Baby Body is gone for good... long live Ms. Pre-Baby Body! May you rest in peace.
