Pleasantly plump is always in the eye of the beholder. As long as you can stay pleasantly healthy and pleasantly whatever Dave likes, don't fret over it!
at this point, i'm not pleasently what i like.
That is a hard place to be. It is important to feel good about yourself, but it is also hard to give up something you enjoy.
Hey you can bake and give away :)
Your post made me laugh. Such a pleasant little baker, with tricksy in her words.
I'm feeling the same way--the AF says Jon needs to drop a few, and I'm trying not to double in size, so it's really limited my baking time. I hate that.
That's really why I don't bake... Baked goods are my weakness! (especially cookies)
I've actually gotten pretty creative at sauteing vegies and making salads. =)
really! i might have to try that soon. can you imagine - me, a vegetable eater?!
Sarah, I do understand - it is much harder after babies, too, to be svelte and slim. It is also important for YOU to feel good about yourself. I think if you keep praying and asking God to show you how you could have a lifestyle that you could live with, and still glorify Him with your "temple", He will help you do it. BTW, I have always thought you are one of the prettiest women I know!
