    Sure, I could eat less, but I don't like to feel punished. Plus, I like wine. And tacos. I'm in no rush.
    Yep! <3

    I only WISH I could eat that much and breastfeed my 2.5 month old and lose weight :( I'm struggling so hard Bc I feel like no matter what I do, while I breast feed my body won't drop weight...I've tried everything!

    I had the same issue with all three of my children. While I didn't find anything that worked at the time, I've since learned about my body type dietary suggestions based on that. Looking back, I also wish I would have had info about increasing healthy fats and decreasing carbs....not to ketosis, but just in general. As a former La Leche leader, I can see how it might benefit the breastfeeding process for mother and baby.

    Me too! Breastfeeding I was CRAVING simple carbs! Cravings while BFIng were worse than any cravings during any of my 3 pregnancies. It was terrible. I was gaining weight while BFing. Here I am 6m PP having to burn it all off.

    Yessss, breastfeeding makes you HANGRY! haha. I think it's important to eat when you're hungry, and eat enough to keep a healthy milk supply, but you have to be very mindful of WHAT you're eating, like you said. With my first daughter, I probably could have lost the weight MUCH faster if I hadn't eaten/drank so many empty calories (soft drinks and sweets were my main issue). Once I started tracking my calories and focused on getting good fats, proteins, and lots of fruits and veggies, the weight came off pretty quickly, especially with the boost I got from nursing.

    This time I started tracking my food earlier on, and am really trying to drinks a ton of water and lay off the junk. :)
