I had a baby 2 months ago and am full time breastfeeding, I've been following a very strict diet religiously for a little over 2 weeks and have stuck to it religiously. In fact I am quite hungry a lot of the time and haven't eaten much of anything. I have been exercising most days, either walking of on the mini trampoline. I ought to be shedding the pounds like nobody's business but I lost a few pounds to start with but it's already ground to a screeching halt at the start of only the third week and the measly two pounds I lost last meek have gone back on overnight for no apparent reason!
What am I doing wrong? I can't be this big, I just can't bear it, if the weight was coming off I could at least look forward to being slim again, but it's just so depressing. I can't possibly restrict my diet any further while breastfeeding without jeopardising my milk supply, I am already not eating dairy or wheat, cutting out most read meat and almost all cereals and eating only 3 small meals each day with one or two snack of fruit or soya yogurt. Somebody help me please, it seems so unfair! I don't know what else I can do, I would step up the exercise but I am exhausted from waking up 4 times a night with my hungry little boy.
