Hunger Vent
Dear nursing body, I understand that you need 500 extra calories a day, and truthfully, I love giving you those calories. It's my excuse for daily ice cream, heaping granola on my yogurt and extra peanut butter on my sandwich. The problem is, I just don't have unlimited snacks at my desk for when you think that I don't bring enough food to work. This is the second week you have made my afternoons difficult and sent me raiding the vending machine. I really hope you'll like the bowl of oatmeal I just made. I'm out of quarters.

Re: Hunger Vent
I am right there with you! My issue is that nursing is not helping me lose weight because my body is craving snacks and food so much. I feel like I'm constantly hungry.
The weight is definitely coming off slower this time since DS doesn't nurse nearly as much as DD did, yet I still feel hungry ALL the time!
TTC #1 Cycle 14 - IUI#1=BFN, IUI#2=BFP | TTC #2 Cycle 8=BFP!!
I wonder if it is just a second pregnancy thing. With DD, I was back at pre-pregnancy weight by 4 months and then lost an additional 10 lbs. At 6 months post-partum, I am now 3lbs from pre-pregnancy weight. My fingers are crossed I'll get there this summer sometime. What I really need to do is tone though. Even though I am only 7lbs heavier than my rock star weight, I am two sizes larger...
