Comfortable weight gain?

I always thought that people who gained weight after saying "I do" was just the comfortable factor. The idea that this person legally has to love you for the rest of your life regardless of gaining weight, losing a tooth, stopping shaving ,etc sort of comfortableness couples get to...I always thought that was the reason. I now know that is NOT the truth. I think the reason behind it has to do with having (in my case) almost an entire year of watching every single calorie and pound while being completely stressed out about planning the wedding and getting into a wedding dress that is "thisbig" and being in front of everyone you know and love and some you don't know that well (husband side of things). I managed to lose 10 lbs and withstand that weightloss through the wedding. I told my friends that the first thing I was going to do after our wedding day was eat a giant CHEESEBURGER. I usually don't order cheeseburgers or have them that often but because I couldn't have one I wanted one sooooo badly. Well...let's just say I haven't stopped at the cheeseburger.

I have eaten without guilt, shame or worry. I have made the calorie ridden pastas, meatloaves, pizza, burgers, etc. Now don't get me wrong, I haven't gone overboard by eating crappy for every meal. I have just not, unlike the last year, counted the calories or worried. I also have loved having the freedom to cook anything. For as long as I can remember, I have tried to make healthy versions of whatever I made. I took a break from it. I won't lie, it's been a nice change. BUT the reality set in this morning: My pants were TOO FRIGGN TIGHT. My thighs were chanting "neener neener we are fat!" And it's a noticeable weight gain there....I mean they jiggle and even sometimes touch. GROSS!! My arms are waving even though I am not. I feel jiggly ALL over. I haven't weighed myself at all and regardless of what the scale says, I KNOW I gained. At least that is what my pants say...

Today is day one of operation:  stop gaining weight. I will start to work out more at the gym and eating 2 super healthy meals a day (bfast and lunch). I won't snack on chips, Triscuits or other super fatty snacks. I won't sneak candy at work all day long. I will just make better choices. I know I feel better when I do that. AND if I do end up eating gross for a meal at least I am working it off. :)
