Ok, with each of my 3 pregnancies, I gained b/t 30-40 pounds. I've lost it all by about 8 months pp. I'm currently nearly 5 months pp. I usually weigh X pre-baby (somewhat underweight for my height), and now I weigh X+10 (who said algebra would never come in handy?!? - a healthier weight according to charts). I had all kinds of eating, food and body issues growing up. I don't have them now except that I'm pretty sure I don't see myself normally. Anyway, I prefer to weigh X. We are going to try for #4, and I worry that if I don't get back to X before we do, I may have X+10 as my new set point. At the same time, I think I want the next two to be fairly close in age, as the last two were. I have this theory that if my body doesn't recover, it never will. This theory stems from the fact that the last two were 18 months apart, and it seems like the weight isn't coming off the same way this time, as it did the first two times. What has been your experience or what do you think?
