I've never had children so I don't know what that is like when it comes to food, but I bet you crave a lot of things and wish you could eat more. Making a list of what to buy at the store and sticking to it is a good way to go. Plan out your meals and only stock good healthy food in your house. You inspired me! I need to do the same... <br />:)Joanna Waechtlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09040839807235155308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4380148345291513737.post-81091193459782083502010-01-19T06:38:44.021-05:002010-01-19T06:38:44.021-05:00Realizing your weaknesses is the first step to cha...Realizing your weaknesses is the first step to changing your outlook! I know how you feel. I "took a break" from eating sensibly/only when hungry over Christmas, and I've been off the wagon ever since. It's been almost a month! What works for me sometimes is basically a combo of what you're doing: I ask myself, "am I really hungry?", then I have a bottle of water, then I wait 20 mins, then I have a banana or carrots with peanut butter. It's SO hard! My self-control is so flimsy, I can't keep anything even remotely abusable in the house. No chips. No chocolate syrup. Nothing.<br /><br />You'll get back on track! It takes some time to re-wire your brain after 20 years of comfort/boredom/stress eating. And I feel you with spending so much of your time boobing the baby. But hey, if she were bottle fed, you would need TWO hands instead of ONE to feed her. She may not be at the point where she can manage the boob on her own, but she will get there soon.<br /><br />My mom's laid off right now and she taught me how to crochet when I was 8 years old. I bet if you bribed her with some sweet baby time, she would teach you too :) PM me on FB if you want!Breezy Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06032637907727920025noreply@blogger.com
