Is a crunchy mama!
Sigh... I can't believe I'm back here again! Well, almost. When I first joined SW in Dec 2009, I was over a stone heavier than I am now. I was about 10lbs away from target (9st 7lbs) when I fell off track for a few weeks and put on 13lbs then I got pregnant! So I was 10at 13lbs when I got pregnant and I was actually okay with that. Hardly put on anything until the last trimester. By the time I was in hospital having my baby, I was 2st heavier (12st 13lbs). By the time I left the hospital 2 days later I was 1st 7lbs lighter and I lost another 10lbs two weeks later. So two weeks after I had my baby I was under my pre pregnancy weight, so I was 10st 10lbs. Hope you can keep up lol.
Now from 2 weeks after my baby to date (roughly 2 months) I've put on a horrific one and a half stone! How the hell does that happen when I'm exclusively breastfeeding?! I'll tell you how, by cooking with butter, double cream, full fat everything and a LOT of it.. Sigh... I can't believe how naive I was thinking I could eat all I was eating and not put on weight (even LOSE wieght because I'm breastfeeding!). Now I've formed habits that I'm finding difficult to break, like desserts every night!
So now with the weight I gained post pregnancy added to the weight I gained before getting pregnant and the initial weight I had to lose in the first place, I've got 40lbs to lose in total!! OMG!! Wish me luck!
P.S. I'd appreciate any tips you can offer on how to curb sugar cravings!
