Ah... well in that case, I can share with thee the secrets as to my weight loss.. but I don't know if you would want to try something so radical until you get finished with nursing as it can do some funky monkey with your chemistry.
One must have a first trip to infuse the desire for return. One should not clamor for and sing the praises of paradise until one has at least tasted of the forbidden fruit. Otherwise one cannot quantify said desires.
Considering that you say you've only gained 15 pounds so far, I dare say you will look as close to normal as you ever will.

jan:3, feb:variable, march:3, april:2, May:3, etc...
The best gift I ever gave was also the worst gift. I remember cramming a carton of Marlboros along with a card, 20 bucks, and a healthy fist of loose coins into a haphazard and misshapen hand-rolled box to a cousin for familial gift exchange. We both remember it well... and fondly.
