i gained another three pounds and other weightloss woes

im sorry for venting.no flames please.

i gained another three pounds and i think this is because of my carb protein loading mentality every after pump session. This was developed when i noticed that each time i pump without a serving of a protein/carb food pasta/sandwich/rice meal, i definitely pump 1 oz less. as it is im getting stressed because of low supply in view of this scant AF that im having and LO's being thin (shes not underweight but she's barely at the normal weight charts), and now i would have to deal with this :(

i know some people say that some EBFers keep the excess poundage for the milk making machine to work, but why is this happening to me? my tummy is getting bigger too and a lot of people are saying that im getting fatter. weaning of course is out of the question for mee so what i do is take in fenugreek, mother's milk tea, oatmeal, lots of liquids, the works to ensure supply, but lately its nosediving still if i dont eat much. i am also striving hard to hit the gym at least three times a week for an at least 30-minute cardio, since thats the only extra time that i have considering that i still want to spend time with LO and my commute-work time takes 12 hours off my day.

im really really having a sad and fat day :(

has anyone been on the same boat and had successfully lost the pounds without denting supply? please share your experiences.

 

Thank you for listening and warm regards.

    Try and eat good carbs and protein. I keep peanuts and string cheese around at all times.  Whole wheat breads.  I sort of kept up with my GD diet since it was pretty healthy.  I kept on weight with DS1.  Once I weaned it melted off.  I was frustrated and hated how I looked, but it was worth it.  This time I dropped, but now that we are weaning I have put a few back on:(  I need to start watching what I eat again.

    i sort of recently noticed that i am fatter than i thought/want to be - and i think a lot of it is not that i am bigger than say last week, it's that i am wearing lighter clothing for the warmer weather and it's not as forgiving/camouflaging as winter wear!

    i'm not particularly comfortable with my body between my neck and knees Tongue Tied
