I have given myself a work out and eating pass until I quit bf! Since I have had to cut dairy I can't indulge like I normally would but I eat like 8 Oreos a day when I normally would have 2 ! 
Anyone else just saying "screw it" until they are done ? My mspi diet has made me lose all my baby weight plus some so I just have no motivation !

Yup! I haven't worked out since pre baby and chalk it all up to bf'ing.

Yes, I haven't worked out but even more importantly, I *need* to eat lots of fattening things. It's all for the milk.

Yes. I figure I do enough working full time, committing to breastfeeding, and being a mom. It is enough.

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.

Yup! I'm eating way more now than I was while pregnant. I kind of feel guilty...

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

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

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!

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.

@coacheswife123: I totally get it. I lost all my weight plus some when I had to be on the mspi diet.
Problem is: in off the diet now & done nursing, and yet I still give myself excuses 
I think I need to be honest with myself, but I don't wanna quit Oreos!!!

@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 !

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

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.

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!!!

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 (:

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!

@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
@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

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!
bananas / 9973 posts
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!

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.

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).

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.

You bet I have! She's still nursing at 13 months and I'm still eating whatever and not working out.
wonderful pomelo / 30692 posts
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.

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.

Absolutely! 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!
