Christina your MIL is right! Mothers do have to be stubborn. I know you can lose the weight sweety. I'm so stubborn that when I am told that I can't do something I just have to prove them wrong. You just need to set your mind right. Keep telling yourself you can do it. Now repeat after me I can do it, I can do it. Start each day new and be confident in yourself. You are worth it and you will have the best prize of all a baby to cuddle.
