I try not to eat anything TOO unhealthy, but I'm not always successful... Two days ago, I ate half of a large Dominos pizza AND half an order of cinnastix! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-give-themself-a-total-pass-while-bf#post-977854 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 10:56:53 +0000 dagret 977854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Totally. I have second breakfast ALL the TIME. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-give-themself-a-total-pass-while-bf#post-977189 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 07:06:04 +0000 Smurfette 977189@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I with @Adira: I am trying to watch what I eat. Getting back on WW today after being bad for a couple weeks. I just have no time to workout with solo parenting during the week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-give-themself-a-total-pass-while-bf#post-977187 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 07:03:08 +0000 Adira 977187@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Partially! I definitely am not working out - who has time for that??? But I'll gain weight if I eat like I want to, so I'm TRYING to watch what I eat still. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-give-themself-a-total-pass-while-bf#post-977178 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 06:49:41 +0000 mediagirl 977178@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You bet I have! She's still nursing at 13 months and I'm still eating whatever and not working out. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-give-themself-a-total-pass-while-bf#post-977146 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 06:20:23 +0000 KayKay 977146@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i did some exercise, but not really with any sort of goal in mind. and i definitely ate like a 12 year old boy. for a whole year. it was amazing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-give-themself-a-total-pass-while-bf#post-977102 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 05:04:54 +0000 lamariniere 977102@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! I was lucky and lost all of the baby weight and then some by EBF, eating like a pig and sitting on the couch all day (with baby attached to the boob). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-give-themself-a-total-pass-while-bf#post-977017 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 23:18:28 +0000 mrskc 977017@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>OMG I want Oreos now. And yes I use breastfeeding as my excuse to eat bad. I don't want to quit breastfeeding because I'll be sad when I have to watch what I eat more closely. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-give-themself-a-total-pass-while-bf#post-977016 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 23:17:26 +0000 shopaholic 977016@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have totally! I actually went down below pp weight, but leveled back to the same. BUT I feel like it's starting to creep up on me. I need to be more conscious of what I eat soon! And no more cookies and ice cream! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-give-themself-a-total-pass-while-bf#post-977009 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 23:08:55 +0000 MamaJ 977009@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. I'm actually having a hard time keeping the weight ON. So that means I get to any a ton. I think I'm gonna gain 10000 lbs when I'm done breastfeeding! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-give-themself-a-total-pass-while-bf#post-977008 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 23:08:21 +0000 rrachael 977008@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hellocupcake: I use the same excuse for not working out with my sister! Haha. I'll go on the elliptical but that's about it :P<br /> @coacheswife123: I haven't broken into the Oreos ... But our grocery store has the best chocolate chip cookies which I pretty much buy every time I have to pick something up.... I joke that lo gets chocolate milk during her night feedings. Dh doesn't find that as amusing as I do ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-give-themself-a-total-pass-while-bf#post-977004 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 23:07:10 +0000 Mrs. Bee 977004@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>hell to the yes! and olive is almost 22 months old. i wonder what'll happen when i wean! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-give-themself-a-total-pass-while-bf#post-976999 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 23:00:50 +0000 birdofafeather 976999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i have for eating for sure! i've lost all the weight and then some. but i do walk a ton and go to barre classes, but it's not to get in shape, but to have some me time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-give-themself-a-total-pass-while-bf#post-976979 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 22:45:45 +0000 hellocupcake 976979@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not only do I give myself a pass, I use it as an excuse whenever my cousin insists I work out with her. I just say I can't because I heard that working out might cause my milk to dry up /: She believes me and I have a few more months of being work out free (: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-give-themself-a-total-pass-while-bf#post-976882 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 21:44:23 +0000 Mommy Finger 976882@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have totally given myself a pass and it shows. Ugh, I was doing so well with the weight loss and now I'm back on the gain. My pants don't fit. :( I need to work on that!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-give-themself-a-total-pass-while-bf#post-976834 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 21:07:50 +0000 bpcmarj 976834@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Totally. Especially with MSPI when she was younger. Thanks to no cheese or ice cream I lost 15lbs in 8 weeks! That was part of why we stopped...DRs were worried at how much I was losing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-give-themself-a-total-pass-while-bf#post-976827 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 21:05:37 +0000 kiddosc 976827@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I totally did. I was back to my pre pregnancy weight pretty quickly and my supply was only just enough, so I didn't want to do anything to jeopardize it. Now that I'm done I'm having a hard time getting back on the bandwagon though, lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-give-themself-a-total-pass-while-bf#post-976820 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 21:03:53 +0000 pl0508 976820@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TurtleDoves: this is my fear!!! I'm scared when I'm off the diet I will have trouble cutting back on my Oreo addiction ! Side note : the peanut butter Oreos are out of this world ! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-give-themself-a-total-pass-while-bf#post-976814 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 20:59:38 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 976814@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@coacheswife123: I totally get it. I lost all my weight plus some when I had to be on the mspi diet.<br /> Problem is: in off the diet now &amp; done nursing, and yet I still give myself excuses :P I think I need to be honest with myself, but I don't wanna quit Oreos!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-give-themself-a-total-pass-while-bf#post-976787 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 20:48:47 +0000 sarac 976787@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, and it made me gain weight. I'm one of the tragic few who gains while breastfeeding if I follow my hunger cues, so I have to watch it. When my toddler was a hugely growing and nursing baby I was just famished - and I put on 10 pounds. If I was one who had lost weight breastfeeding I'd just eat whatever. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-give-themself-a-total-pass-while-bf#post-976756 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 20:37:28 +0000 bisous 976756@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have been walking while on maternity leave--but as soon as I go back to work, I will totally be giving myself that pass! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-give-themself-a-total-pass-while-bf#post-976751 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 20:36:42 +0000 PurpleUnicorn 976751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did in the beginning, especially even my weight kept dropping pp.......but I was giving myself a pass to eat all the Nutella I wanted and then gained 10 pounds :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-give-themself-a-total-pass-while-bf#post-976738 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 20:29:51 +0000 Espion 976738@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You ladies are singing my song. I eat way too much...but it's all for the baby! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-give-themself-a-total-pass-while-bf#post-976736 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 20:29:00 +0000 Purpledaisy 976736@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I still haven't exercised at all pp. I did start eating a lot healthier about a month ago. I was eating so many dessert! Good times! But I was ready to lose a little bit of weight. I count breastfeeding as exercise hahaha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-give-themself-a-total-pass-while-bf#post-976732 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 20:27:33 +0000 Alivoo01 976732@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup! I'm eating way more now than I was while pregnant. I kind of feel guilty... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-give-themself-a-total-pass-while-bf#post-976704 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 20:15:24 +0000 Maysprout 976704@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have dessert every night and honestly sometimes after every meal If I felt hungry I didn't hesitate to snack but I was still working out a lot but between bf and running and biking I needed lots o' calories. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-give-themself-a-total-pass-while-bf#post-976703 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 20:15:17 +0000 prettylizy 976703@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh yes I did. For the same reasons as you. MsPI stinks </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-give-themself-a-total-pass-while-bf#post-976696 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 20:12:54 +0000 DillonLion 976696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. I figure I do enough working full time, committing to breastfeeding, and being a mom. It is enough. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-give-themself-a-total-pass-while-bf#post-976664 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 20:01:21 +0000 Beehive 976664@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I haven't worked out but even more importantly, I *need* to eat lots of fattening things. It's all for the milk. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-give-themself-a-total-pass-while-bf#post-976651 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 19:52:00 +0000 matador84 976651@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup! I haven't worked out since pre baby and chalk it all up to bf'ing. </p>
