So... My little darling is four months today. Time whizzes past when you are watching someone else grow. I'm now looking in the mirror and noticing the new wobbly bits my angel has left me with.
I enjoyed my pregnancy, with strong advice from my best friend who is now expecting her second baby "enjoy it as you will never have this time again, when you have your first baby to look after too". With these words of wisdom I did. I slept, relaxed, went out and ate for 4!. Yes I know, you're only meant to eat an extra slice of bread in your last trimester, but having spent most of my life watching what I eat as I used to be a dancer, and having spent a year getting fit for my wedding I thought I'm going to get away with this while I can.
Stupid really, as I'm bigger than I have ever been, and have a lot of hard work to do, and a wedding to attend in May.
Now weight loss and breast feeding, everyone says its the key you will lose weight without even trying...MY ARSE. Yes I haven't put on extra, but i haven't lost either.
Now you burn 300 -500 calories breast feeding you are meant to eat the extra, and your body holds onto fat too when feeding to make sure you can provide for your baby. (Aren't our bodies clever) So hopefully when I stop I will shed what I'm holding on to, but of for now WeightWatchers is the key!
WeightWatchers have a program for breast feeding mothers Huzzah! And my leader has a few in her class who have said the weight is finally falling off and I know it works, I have a friend who lost four stone in 6 months and has kept it off.
So my new journey begins, I want to have more children and I want to be healthy when I do so I can have another pregnancy like my last, enjoyable and carefree.
I will update you with my losses every Thursday, starting on the 27th (I know I'm crazy its Christmas) but if I can survive Christmas and the beige buffets, I can survive anything.
Wish me luck guys!
