Ems journey to being a yummy mummy!

[emsy1984]

Hi everyone, had my baby boy just over 4 weeks ago now. Lost my baby weight very quickly as I only gained 10'pounds due to horrid ice sickness throughout the pregnancy. I am currently 13 stone 4.5 and go to class on a Wednesday. However in an really struggling to control the hunger from breastfeeding! I've packed away so much junk the past few days I'm ashamed!! I don't have a ultimate goal as yet, I mean I've never been slim! I'm 29 in August so would like to drop half a stone by then if poss.
Anyone got any tips to stay away from sweet and sugar cravings while breast feeding? I never feel satisfied you see

Oops haven't updated for a few days, well I'm on target for my half stone challenge, managed
To loose 1.5 pounds this week . The summer has arrived and we all know what that means, time to put the coverup clothes away :-/. I want shopping for some new summer clothes and I'm still a size 16 due to massive boobys and thighs from pregnancy. I'm hoping when I'm back at
The gym I will tone up pretty quickly( I worked out untill I was about 30 weeks but I then got spd ) and also was quite fit before I fell pregnant

Food today:

Porridge, banana
Muller light and pear

Lunch tuna salad

Tea chicken jacket potato and more salad

Snacks grapes, nectarine, might have a hifi bar as I can have extra healthy extras with breast feeding. Maybe some cream with strawberries for syns.

Will get out for a nice walk today to with it being
Really sunny!

Day not quite gone to plan.


Had my porridge early then a pear

Went round mums and had bacon sandwiches (no fat) with cherry tomatoes (that was about 10:30)

Banana and Freddo at lunch

Still having chicken jacket potato and salad for hrs though

Just been really hungry today again the urge to snack is overwhelming! I know I'm not having tea for at least a hour so I need something else in the meantime.

Fruit just isn't doing it for me today lol x

So this is me currently At 13 stone 3. Will be a b4 photo.



Had a lovely day yesterday, my friend threw me a surprise baby shower/meet baby Finley get together. We had a BBQ and the sun shone all day. Had some cake but was on plan otherwise.

However it did make me realise how much I want to loose weight and how much my shape has changed since having my son! I tried on my wedding dress last night expecting it to be to big as I'm half a stone lighter than my wedding day but i can't zip it up! So there's another goal to get back into my wedding dress.

Just having porridge for brekky and a banana.

Not sure what else today will update as I go along. 4 full days till weigh in!
