tellytubby, yeah I usually have a tea or milo in the evenings. It's sooo hard not to eat something though. The breastfeeding makes me really famished as well. Up until last week I was just having a sandwhich (honey or jam) in between meals and in the evenings after dinner. I was eating half a loaf of bread a day mg: but kind of cut back on that now.

funkeefrog - it all sounds so simple if I buy chocolate, I'm embarrassed to say that I will eat it that day all in one sitting. Yes, an entire block of dairy milk So it rarely lasts the week. But then if I have to duck out to the shops during the week, I'll grab myself a chocolate bar. Although, I must say I have been good this past week and have avoided the temptation! I knew we would have chocolate cake for my birthday dinner yesterday so I saved myself for that.

Aside from the chocolate, I think I'm pretty good with my meals. Porridge and fruit for breakfast. Salad sandwiches or toasted baked bean sandwiches for lunch. Dinners vary, I try to make healthy but I have cut down my portion sizes, was eating the same as DH. I never let him serve up my dinner because he fills my entire plate!

So I need to ramp up my exercise. I'm only managed a couple of 45 minute walks a week at the moment due to a dodgy pelvis but that is improving and soon I will be able to get back into Pilates as well and more intense/regular walks.
