Weight loss and breastfeeding....

[MrsFabuloso]

Hi Tan,

I am feeling the same as you hun, so so heavy and just sooo uncomfortable in my skin.
I have decided today is THE DAY!!!
Last night I wrote out some rules for myself:

-More water (Drink 2lt of water, more for the filling up factor than to hydrate, LOL!)
-2-3 serves fruit, 3-5serves veggies a day, every day
-Have a glass of water when hungry between meals (then wait 15mins to see if I'm really hungry or if I can distract myself)
-NO added sugar (even in coffee/tea, only from 2-3pcs fruit)
-3 meals 2 snacks
-No spending extra money on food (eg: if we go out, I will bring my own food, no buying chocolate/junky snacks)
-Write it down (I am going to do a food diary for a while to get myself under control and see whre my bad times are, though I think I know!!)
-Limit processed foods (I have been eating alot of convenience stuff like muesli bars, cerial, bread and though not bad in themselves really, I should be eating fruit and veggies)
-Walk AT LEAST 20mins 5 times a week (I have been carrying Lily in my ergo and pushing Liam in the single pram, or pushing them both in the double pram. I find if I use the carrier, my legs are sorer like I've been doing squats, but if I push them in the pram, I get more puffed out, so a mixture for me is good!)

And that's it for now. I don't want to overwhelm myself with too many specifics just yet and I think these things are pretty basic for me. It's stuff I used to always do before having kids and I have just let them slip, so I want to get back into the old habbits!
HTH.

Good Luck
