Help Me, Richard Simmons

Why can't baby weight just melt off like butter?  I had to get a physical today, and compared to my pre pregnancy weight, there is still 17 more pounds of me to love at this point.  This whole ":normal" pound a week weight loss is very frustrating...while that is pretty much what I have lost, I just feel like it should be coming off quicker.  Breastfeeding plus Sanga Vinyasa twice a week plus eating reasonably healthy should be producing more results in my mind.  While I honestly don't have self image issues, the frustrating part is my clothing situation.  I go back to work in about two weeks, anad I guarantee you my work pants won't fit yet.  I either have to suck it up and wear my belly band over those pants (hate that thing) or buy some bigger pants.  How much does one spend on a transition work wardrobe?  I am not looking like a slob when I go back, so I imagine I will spend a decent amount.  Ahhh well...I am not Kourtney Kardashian who could work out 2X/day after her baby was born...it will happen sooner or later.  I just don't have patience for this crap!
