Solid as a marshmallow.

Okay, I've got about ten pounds to go before I'm back to my pre-pregnancy/pre-Lupron Depot weight. I can't lie and say that my weight loss is as a result of smart dieting and exercise, because it's not. It's due to a faster-than average metabolism and having little time to eat because of having a new baby.

I realize that losing this final ten pounds is going to be tough because I'm breastfeeding and the body tends to want to hold on to some fat in case of emergency (drought, famine, being stranded in snow, etc.). Additionally, from the bottom of my knees up I have absolutely no muscle tone. My huge, bulging guns have disappeared, and my abs are still weak and separated. I know fat is lighter than muscle, so if I begin exercising at this point I have to be prepared to gain some weight before I can lose any.

I have to decide whether I'm content with being doughy.
