FOOD!

I NEED to get my eating under control again! it just seems to be at the moment that i just eat and eat and eat! I am trying very hard to eat healthy when i do eat, but it makes it hard when i have visitors who bring slices, cakes, muffins etc! SO HARD! I know that in order to keep up my breastmilk supply i have to eat well, BUT i can do without the chips and chocolates and biscuits, i know i can! Doesnt help also that im making up for lost time with all the things i couldnt eat during pregnancy!

Im dying to start walking again, but i do think i need to give myself maybe another week to heal properly down below, ive been walking down to the playground, around the shops/supermarket etc, however brisk walking i think is a bit down the track! i will start off slowly and build up i think, evenings with Darryl will be best, he can push one pram, i can push the other, SO much planning to do when there is 2 children instead of 1!!

I went into Farmers the other day as i was DESPERATE for some non preggy clothing! i got a pair of 3/4 pants and a singlet, i never try things on in shops, im a sucker for punishment! but i decided to be a bit adventurous and get a size smaller than my pre preggy size in both items, well, what do you know! the pants fit perfectly and the top i had to return for a size smaller! YAY! hence why i have to get this eating under control, i dont want to put back on the size that i have lost!

I have not weighed myself since having Olivia, why? because i think i may cry if i see those numbers! the last month or so of the pregnancy i felt like i did nothing but eat and eat, so, there you have it! my confessions of my bad eating habits! haha hopefully i will have everything under control again really soon, walking will definatly help, as will this lovely weather, bbq steak and salad is what we have had for dinner for the past few nights, just have to take things one step at a time i guess, but, you know me, im impatient! haha

Don't beat yourself up you ninny,you just had a baby and you are feeding her... eat as much as your body needs for now... make good milk for her! You will burn off the excess weight all in good time, you only live once so enjoy now, and worry about later.... later!

Hey you!! Sorry, I fully intended to reply to your email today but ran out of time!!!

Well done on losing a size or two, that is VERY impressive - you will get back into a routine in no time at all. Just remember that your body has been through, and is still going throuh, a LOT and it needs that extra fuel!! You're right - biscuits are not ideal, but your body will still be burning extra calories to keep Olivia well nourished...

Take care xx
