I wanted to put into writing how I feel about myself after babies. Besides the few stretch marks I got, I love my post baby body. While I still would love to lose a little more weight and tone up a bit, I'm overall happy with myself at this point.
I lose a ton of weight breastfeeding and don't have to do anything to help that along. I love that, haha. Though I know from experience that when I am done nursing, the weight comes right back on and that sucks. I am not a dieter, I dont do restrictions. What I need to start working on now is controlling portion sizes. I have a thing where I HATE to waste food. So I get half way through my plate and am full, but because I dont want to waste anything I eat the rest anyway. I need to stop that. It gets me in trouble and I completely over eat to the point of being uncomfortable sometimes. It's ridiculous.
Right now I weigh 128 and have been hanging around that number for the last couple months. I dont think Im going to bounce off it unless I start exercising lightly. (I dont want to affect my supply by doing something hardcore) Ideally I'd like to lose 10-15 more pounds. While nursing Ethan I leveled out at 114, I'd like to get near there again, somewhere between 115 and 120. Though I dont think just nursing is going to get me there again, it's not melting everything off as crazy as it did last time.
So there it is. Im happy with myself though I think I have a little work to do to be where I'd ideally like to be. But overall, I cant complain and loving every minute!
