Why I'm Going to the Gym Lop-Sided


This morning I've decided to get back into my gym routine..... Well, I don't really have a routine. Fact is I haven't really had one since Jimmy's been born - hmmmmm. BUT, that's going to change. I want to get back into shape, feel strong and also like what I see in the mirror. The old 'bod has certainly changed but its not beyond redemption - yet.... I'm below my pre-pregnancy weight - about 52kg, but have totally lost my muscle tone. I'll post a pic when I get a bit of confidence - public humiliation is a GREAT fitness incentive!

Right, back to what I was saying. I have a bit of a problem today. My left and right breasts are totally different sizes. If I wear my usual exercise gear, I am without a doubt going to look lop-sided. Jimmy slept for - wait for it - 7 hours in a row last night!!!!!!! Now this is a massive achievement in itself because he's only been averaging 4 hours of solid sleep (There is light at the end of the tunnel for his poor sleep deprived parents!). BUT, it means that both my breasts are massively engorged. I haven't had this for weeks! This combined with the fact that Jimmy has become adverse (and this is a polite way of putting it!) to my right breast, is a challenge. The little bugger screams if he comes anywhere near it. Gray and I have taken to calling it THE ALIEN BOOB! He hates it!

This really sucks! To start with, no one tells you that babies do this sort of thing. You're also not told that the result is that one breast becomes about 10 sizes larger than the other until you start weaning. Then I have been informed, your breasts usually return to their normal size - WHAT THE HELL DOES THIS MEAN!!!! AND WHAT HAPPENS IF THEY DON'T?!?!

So, I'm off to the gym in about 30 minutes for a work-out with two blatantly different size tits. Wish me luck, I'm going to need it!

You think a little bit of lop sided is bad, try carrying around size F's in non underwired maternity bras!
