  • My baby turns 10 months old this week and I still have to maintain 1800-2000 calories a day. I'm still losing weight. I'm down 50lbs now which is awesome! I track my food and started walking with my babies at the beginning of the school year. My baby tuggs and tries to eat me every 2 hours if I try to eat less.

I've finally gotten there, but it took a long time to not crave it! I don't like any of the nondairy cheeses so I don't have a recommendation for a…

  • My 5 year old offhandedly called me fat. I don't think she meant it in a mean way, but meals are always a battle with her and midway through an eat something off your plate argument she said why so I can be big and fat like you someday. Ouch! The kids went back to school and I started walking with my babies every morning.…

  • There are so many pretty ways to serve raw veggies. Raw vegan is a "thing" now so there are tons of recipes for all kinds of vegetable dishes that aren't cooked or are just lightly cooked.
