| me, for the past 10-ish months… |
when we went for our 2-week visit to the pediatrician,
my mom was in town and the doc asked about my health…
he said, “no one probably needs to remind you to drink water…
i am sure you are plenty thirsty….
{right, of course…}
…but be sure you are eating all day long… graze.
when you think about eating, do it.
don’t hold back.“
{cough.}
woops.
here is the truth.
ironically, the one time in my life that i can “let go,”
eat what i want and be excused for my weight for a while…
i have no appetite.
i don’t know if it is just because i am running around trying to see what all i can accomplish in a day in my nap-time slots,
my general lack of energy because of said running,
or because this is all just a sick joke.
yeah- i know, i am supposed to drink a ton and eat a lot
to be a champ at the breastfeeding thing.
to be a champ at the breastfeeding thing.
and i will say, i do a pretty decent job at the water…
i bank between 90oz to a gallon, which is just fine…
it isn’t cause i am always thirsty though.
but i feel like i have to force myself to eat.
so how has my child already grown almost 4 pounds…?
no idea.
no idea.
a few weeks ago, on a whim,
we bought a bagillion of those cheap,
pre-fab pasta-type meals.
every night was, “so……pasta?”
we felt disgusting.
we did do some saver-conscious shopping this week
and i am back on the meal-plan track…
so we have more legit meals and food around the house now.
sheesh– that only took forever.
maybe it will help me be a better eater…
maybe it won’t…
I hear ya. After the babes I had to be force-fed. I assumed it was because I was a walking anxiety attack coupled with my postpartum depression. Change was extra hard for me. But maybe it's normal??
Well, unlike you two, I did not have a hard time eating because of appetite. I was just too exhausted to sleep – let alone cook anything. Breastfeeding made me super tired and then taking care of three infants made me super tired, so when I had the option to eat or sleep, I usually picked sleep. Don't get too hard on yourself, Meg. You gotta do what works for you while taking care of a little
Oops! (That line should read too exhausted to EAT! Lol!)
Can you send the "no appetite" vibes my way? I seem to have to opposite problem. I think having pizza twice and week and french fries at least 3 -plus an entire box of chocolate cupcakes -of 12- eat'n in 1 1/2 days aren't on the antioxidant/get your body healthy diet. Ya, send those vibes my way asap, please.
