Back on the scales

Having finished the post-pregnancy diet some time ago, I have not used the bathroom scales in a while. This morning I got back on and... appear to have lost another couple of pounds.
This is probably the cue for me to declare this weight loss a Bad Thing and show my contempt of all the media pressure that suggests modern women should look like stick insects. Sadly, I am not that strong-willed and instead I am (sadly) quite pleased to be slightly thinner. Besides, with Christmas approaching, it must be a good thing to have a couple of pounds more to fill with chocolate/roasts/alcohol/etc. Right ?
I think that it must be due to all the sprog lifting I do these days. Obviously lugging a couple of babies around is akin to a good half-hour at the local gym.
Perhaps I could add it to the Camus babysitting advertising literature :
"Babysitting : the family-friendly way to lose weight !
And remember, two babies make that pound-shedding twice as fast."
Perhaps not.
