Nursing is hard work! Lately I have been realizing why it has become common for mothers to stop at 6 months. Katherine eats so much, and mommy eats even more!
Poor Kevin. He was so excited about the apple pie that I had made... and so disappointed to find it all gone after getting one piece. It's a trifle embarrassing for me, eating 2 servings of everything at supper, while he eats only one, but it seems a necessity, these days.
I'm back to my 17-year-old weight, and can't seem to gain anything back. It's time to buy new, smaller, clothing. Maternity outfits, baby-weight still there outfits, regular outfits, and now skinny outfits. I'd rather not.
I worry about going to visit family in Ontario next month; I'm never going to be able to eat constantly while visiting; they'll think I'm addicted to food or something. And it's not just the social aspect of things; the logistics of carrying a purse full of food with me as well as the baby seem too challenging.
Well, I must go and have another chocolate chip cookie... Oh, the trials of motherhood.
I smile reading this post and KNOW exactly what you mean!!!
ReplyDeleteI found that eating handful of nuts and seeds between meal help me be less hungry and less tempted to overeat during meal or other sugary snack.
I also eat lots of fruits during the day, keeps my energy up (to do all the thing a mother needs to do and have enough milk to satisfy a ever growing not so little anymore baby!
Combo of fruit and protein helps a lot!
Nursing is the best for baby and your doing a great job Dinah and reading articles like this one http://www.naturalnews.com/029863_Similac_infant_formula.html makes me glad that I nurse our babies!!!!
Such a nice girl Dinah :p.
ReplyDeleteThe last time we were in Moncton we went to the market sometime after breakfast (This means that I already had toast.). I had a Chai Latte, and a gelato. I bought a Creme Brulee for later, and Peter gave me a morning glory muffin. I saved these good things to eat later. We went on a road trip to Sackville and by lunch time those things were well started.
Later that day Jeremy asked me if I normally ate like that. He was horrified that I just kept eating.
It's not normally Creme Brulee, but yes I do eat like that too.
I'm at my 14 year old weight (any guesses?), but I do work at it. Either 20 mins of Wii Fit or a mile walk.

Yay for fat babies. I have no idea how much I weigh. I am hungry all the time though and Lincoln eats every 1 1/2 hours or so during the day. I'm trying to eat good for me food so his weight ends up bring healthy weight. :) I consider Creme Brulee healthy, all those eggs and milk. :) Wendy

ReplyDeleteEat away. Dinah, I can pack some. As for weight, I could lose some, so I bought expensive walking shoes today. Early birthday present.
ReplyDeleteThanks, mom! I know your purse is very capacious! I must find some diary-free granola bars or something!
