Mixed emotions

I keep looking at my before pics and I can't believe the difference. It really is crazy that I don't have that extra skin and pregnant look. I am just mad at myself because my diet has been terrible. It makes me sad because I am very active and my diet is usually pretty good. I know it's the holidays but it is no excuse. I can't wait to get back to the gym and lose these last few pounds. Also I now have these lovely love handles. I'm sure I've always had them but now they stick out like a sore thumb! I just have these mixed emotions. I should be greatful because my recovery so far has been amazing! I feel normal. My tummy is numb without my CG on but other than that it has been to easy.
This truly is a roller coaster and I'm glad I have this site to stalk lol. Attaching a few photos.

Day 6 PO
KatjillNovember 28, 2013
I have been feeling so good! Almost to good. I can't believe it has been a week today. I do have to say I should have Taken my real self friends advice lol. I overdid it today. My mom wanted to take my 6 year old to the movies so I did that, ok I was fine. Then I went to pick up my 3 year old and talk about the fees I've been getting at daycare. Then went to the bank. What was I thinking?!?! I was never in pain but I was just wiped out. Came home and took a LONG nap lol. Stay home ladies! I am so stubborn. And Holy swelling batman! I'm gonna take it easy the next few days pinky swear:)
I don't know what I am going to do about clothes when I go back to work Monday. Nothing fits. It's weird because I weigh the same. My tummy is smaller but I cant button my freaking pants! Looks like I will have to take a quick venture out to pick up a few leggings and sweater dresses.
But overall this whole thing has been easier than I thought. The first 4 days sucked but then I felt great. I'm sure I'll have bad days but I'm just glad my body is healing faster than I thought.....so far that is.

Last night was terrible. No sleep and diarrhea:(. But Today has been good! I am turning a corner. Hardly using pain meds and a nice shower! The shower was much easier this time. Hoping for a good nights sleep and a great day tomorrow! I go back Tuesday and I really hope to get the drains taken out. I am attaching a picture from today
