over-eating and ebf
in Baby
hello! i have 2 weeks left of ebf and am a little concerned over my eating habits. i am back to my pre-pregnancy size (8-10) but am eating far too much! i know this. the food cupbord knows this. tesco knows this.
anyhoo, at what point for those people who ebf for 6 months, did breastfeeding alone stop working for keeping the weight off? it's not appetite related, as i really was not hungry when i opened the packet of wotsits... or the kitkat crunchy... yet the apple doesnt have the same appeal.
did people who ebf find they put weight on after weaning started? i dont intend to stop breastfeeding any time soon btw,

Since weaning, my dd has dropped 2 feeds and is now down to 3 feeds a day. I haven't noticed any weight gain yet but i am really dreading piling it all on. I imagine that when i go back to work in November i may cut down on what i am eating as i won't be in the house all day.

Just this week I have decided enough is enough - I don't like my figure and I want to go back to how I looked before pregnancy, but having just finished a cupcake (before dinner!) clearly my motivation isn't great...
Good luck with weaning. xx
Really do need to do some exercise though xx
My weakness at the minute is vanilla lattes from starbucks. Oh the irony of ordering a skinny latte with sugar free syrup, and a big fat slice of cake on the side!
