When I had DD the weight fell off quite quickly & I was thinner than before I got pregnant. I expected the same again but it hasn't happened. I don't want to wear maternity clothes anymore but my own clothes from before don't fit me & I don't want to buy new clothes in case I do manage 2 lose the weight because then they won't fit me.
I feel really down when I see my reflection in something I look awful. I tried to start slimming world again but I failed miserably & within 2days had ordered a takeaway.
I'm hoping when the weather is better I will be able 2 go walking a lot with the pram and I might be more feeling the salads when the weather is warmer. God knows what I'll do til then though
Food is my down fall, i like to eat and now with a newborn i feel like i have no time to cook properly so i snack :roll:
Maybe we could share a few healthy meals we cook for all the family?
im hoping to get out more after being stuck in hospital for 10 days with zac then going back in last week i havent been out and about much and the weather has been awful im feeling a bit better now so may go to the park or something later which is up hills to
snaking i try not to do but it is so much easier especially when zac decides he wants to feed for hours on end oh cooks a lot at moment but sometimes i just dont feel like eating and will get something easy later on
dansmum sharing recipes would be good as i struggle that way at the moment its sausage casserole spag bol sheperds pie all easy stuff really
cant wait for warmer weather as do love salads but only if its all chopped up and mixed together with lods of salad cream so not really healthy :roll:
amgel-eyez ive been thinking about the whole diet club thing i did rosemary connelly years ago and did really well as it had an excercise class attatched but this time im struggling to motivate myself to go and find it hard to stick to it im hoping my friend joins again as i think if you have someone to do it with it certainly helps
1st it was baby eviction now its evection of the jelly belly
hopefully
I'm regretting all the doughnuts i ate in the last 2wks of pregnancy.
I hate the majority of the clothes I can fit into and well I'm glad I dont have any full length mirrors as when I do catch a glimps of myself in the TV or Picture frames or my microwave (which is like a bloody mirror) It makes me feel worse.
It's only been 3wks for me but everything seems wobbly and like the rest i dont want to buy new clothes.
I've gone back to drinking skimmed milk in my coffee and then its only a dash. I have a banana when i remember in the morning and have been trying to drink alot more water as that supposidly ment to help with weight loss.
Trying to ignore all the buscuits of DD that are in the cupboard an bought myself lowfat yoghurts and apples for when I want a treat.
Have weighted myself once since DS was born dnt want to weight myself anytime soon not least not until i can fit loosly in a size pair of 16 jeans then the aim will be to get back in my 12-10 by the end of the year.
I dont remember being this stressed about it with DD
However with baby number two I'm not expecting miricals even though i've gained less weight then i did with DD :-/
