I am thankful that I can nurse my baby for many reasons, but the reason I am thankful for it today is because it is helping me lose weight!
I'm not on any specific diet right now, just reducing the amount of certain foods (carbs, fats, sugars) and upping my intake of vegetables. Mainly what I am doing is eating healthy meals, and then if I'm hungry in between I only eat vegetables, fruit or something low fat (like 94% fat free popcorn). I'm also not eating dessert every day. I got into a bad habit of having sweets daily when I was pregnant, but I am avoiding them now and you know what, I am fine. It gets easier every day. It's really just a mindset, not a physical need.
Because I am currently nursing, this shift in eating (and daily exercise I've been doing) is finally starting to pay off- whew! I am feeling really good right now. I am back on track with being more aware of what and how much I consume. My first weigh in with my husband went well (I lost 1.2 pounds in a week). We'll see where I'm at this saturday!
