Many moons ago, pre-baby #4, I did Whole30 and lost 12 lbs. I loved it and felt great. Then the holidays hit. And my birthday. And before I knew it I was pregnant.

I have bed head, no makeup and am overweight wearing spandex--not my finest moment. In fact, it is pretty embarrassing and nerve-wracking to have photos like this out for everyone to see.
