in Introduce Yourself
Hey everyone! Long time logger, sporadic poster here. I have been on every side of the weight loss, eating disorder spectrum. Now I am the mother of a new baby boy, 8weeks tomorrow, but with my husband working 12-13hour days and it being stupid cold (wind chills in the -45 to -50C range) my little boy's routine is all out of whack. Sometimes it feels like I'm a single parent, which sucks because I love my husband and it is no one's fault.
I came to the realization that my emotional eating mainly stems from exhaustion/over tiredness. I'm not the kind of person who can sleep when the baby sleeps. So if there are any other new moms or so new parents out there, let's support each other.
Cheers.

    Hey. FTM of a 6 month old. My hubby works one week in town, one week out of town so I feel you with the single parent thing! I'm finding it harder on days when I'm super exhausted-isn't that almost every day :smiley: I go straight for the easy, processed, convenient foods. I have to prep food better in the fridge so I have more healthy options to just grab.
