For years, I had a firm policy about Not Paying Attention to My Weight. This was sanity-saving, and for the most part, I stayed somewhere in the size 12 range. Since I wasn’t weighing in, I can’t tell you what that meant in pounds, but I’m thinking I hovered right around 160. At 5′4, it was over the recommended guidelines, but I carried it well.
Then I got pregnant with Kyd.
