Breastfeeding ravenous beast! PLEASE HELP!!!

Hello fellow weight loss or just get healthy wanters and doers. My name is Mandy. I'm looking to loose 100+ pounds. This is the second time I have looked to this app for help. The first time I was on the Medi Fast program that I was only able to do for about 2 1/2 months before I found out I was pregnant and had to stop the Medifast program. I only gained about 13 pounds in my pregnancy. I kept a close eye on what I ate and I didn't have much of an appetite. Now that my baby is here and I'm a breastfeeding mom I was hoping that breastfeeding would give me a jump start on weight loss. Boy was in wrong! I have developed the appetite of a ravaged beast! I have never been able to put away as much food as I am now. I realize I am eating for 2 but I'm pretty sure I'm over eating, as I lost 7 lb from having the baby to gaining that 7 lb back plus 5 more in 6 weeks!!! Eeeeekkkkk!! That's 2 pounds a week! I think some of it has to do with being board while breastfeeding and also I have developed a big sweet tooth as well. It has been so hard for me to say no to sugar lately. I crave it on the regular and have a hard time saying no. Please if there is any of you other moms or persons that can relate please help!
