Following up on Last Post – Lose Weight or Get Pregnant

Remember a about two posts ago I wanted to let my readers know what my wife and I had been discussing for the months where I was M.I.A.  One of those things was what should she do as far as losing more and wanting to get pregnant.

The dilemma was that it had already been hard for my wife to lose the last 15-20lbs.  She still hates her thighs even though she has lost over 40+ plus over the last few years.  Well now she is caught between wanted to get those last few pounds out of the way and getting pregnant.

Really I don’t Know How to Answer This

She asked me a few times what I think she should do?  Well to be honest I know what I would do and what I WANT to say but its tough.  I have lived with my wife through the ups and downs of her weight but know how much getting pregnant means to her.

I feel as though she is so close to getting to her goal weight that a few more months would be worth it.  Then I think of how see looks at little babies and how happy she is when she is around her nephews and nieces.   Its easy for me to say just lose the weight and wait but then how long will it really take her to lose the 20lbs.  Not to mention no sooner then she loses it she will be putting it back on.

This Really Sucks but is a Great Situation

Yeah this really sucks if you have to help make a decision because I feel like if I say one thing I wont be being honest however if I say wait on getting pregnant and having a baby she might think am just selfish.  On the other hand it’s a great situation for the both of us.

If she decides to go after her goal and lose the last few pounds she gets the body she has always wanted (I will be happy too) and on the other hand we will be looking forward to having our on little bundle of joy (of course I will be even more happier).

What do you think is the best thing to do?  Would you go with just putting off having a child now and losing the last few pounds or would you just wait on the weight and try to have a baby and lose the weight afterwards?
