You sound like you just have a crazy metabolism! I have totally had those weight fluctuations and seriously know exactly what you mean about the being embarassed about eating so much. In high school I danced all the time and ate way more than any of my friends, but was still tiny. This one guy totally teased me for it though and I started feeling weird about it, and became so self-conscious! It was the worst thing that could have happened. Now I definitely go through phases, and can tell when I do overeat, but I usually compensate throughout the rest of the day/week. All I can say is that you are beautiful! Enjoy nursing for what it is and try not to worry about what will happen when you stop (I know, easier said than done :). I nursed my kids for 2 yrs, 15 months, and 2 yrs, and I think if you're in tune with your body, you will adjust appropriately. Just try to listen to your body and focus on nutritious foods (fruits, veggies, whole grains) but don't restrict yourself on the treats. I mean, you don't want to feel gross after, but there's nothing wrong with still having your cinnamon rolls! (Maybe eat one right away and one that night? :) I just really do not think you should start being calorie conscious. Calorie counting has it's place, but not for a slender nursing mom! :) I really think you will be fine. Worrying about it is your biggest enemy. Just make sure you're getting the nutrients you need to take care of you and Jax, and enjoy food - it's meant to be enjoyed! Good luck! :)<br /><br />And back to the nursing - again, don't worry about what anyone else thinks. If you really aren't loving it, then don't feel pressure to keep going. BUT if the only "not love" :) part is because of your fear of gaining weight, forget about that and do whatever feels best for you and Jax! <br /><br />K, sorry for the novel - I know we've hardly ever even talked, but I'd be happy to anytime :)<br /><br /><br />I think all of these have already been mentioned but some good snacks are popcorn, pretzels, whole wheat crackers, pb and toast, string cheese, yogurt, nuts. Obviously these vary significantly in protein and calories, so when you're feeling munchy but not terribly hungry, the popcorn and pretzels would be a good choice, whereas when you are really hungry, the yogurt, cheese, and handful of nuts are a great option. :)Katihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02173383719465502624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3489781229810584478.post-28635486176936268852012-05-01T09:42:24.855-07:002012-05-01T09:42:24.855-07:00And not night area, that would be werid, a day are...And not night area, that would be werid, a day area.

Hahaha. I thin...Oh goddness, im like this Already!! Hahaha. I think ill wait awhile, get in super shape before I pop one of those babies out. My suggestion is get one of those baby buggies stroller, with the one wheel in front, two in back (not sure what there called) Find a nice night area, path or trail and go for a run. Nothing is better than a good run. Plus Jax can get a nice breeze from the ride.Brieanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02572987261885635627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3489781229810584478.post-60668138965052601732012-05-01T09:16:02.704-07:002012-05-01T09:16:02.704-07:00I don't know if this is completely accurate, b...I don't know if this is completely accurate, but here's my thinking. For meals and snacks, try and eat wisely. Find recipes that are filling and healthy. Then if you feel like making cinnamon rolls, go for it! :) I've started eating a large Fuji apple, yogurt, string cheese, nuts, popcorn etc for a snack, or as part of my lunch. One recipe I really like is: http://kbkayefamily.blogspot.com/2011/01/southwestern-corn-chowder.html<br />filling, but only 164 calories per cup (without cheese). Good luck! :)Kaylahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03322582768173856325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3489781229810584478.post-91651297728995005652012-05-01T09:00:33.496-07:002012-05-01T09:00:33.496-07:00PS Taylor...you have always looked great.

So be careful of that when cutting your calories. Anyway. I love cottage cheese with strawberries. My family loves cottage cheese with banana, crushed almonds, and cinnamon. That just sounds gross to me. I also frequently eat apples and string cheese and a few almonds. But that definitely isnt as good as cinnamon rolls. ;)brightonislovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14745693139578358232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3489781229810584478.post-76767324749942828172012-05-01T07:34:35.019-07:002012-05-01T07:34:35.019-07:00It's totally normal.

When you nurse you burn a lot of calories, so your body wants to compensate by prompting you to eat. *It's ok if you eat through out the day, just make sure it's healthy (or semi healthy) stuff--otherwise you will regret it. Try pita chips with hummus, apples with peanut butter, or a fruit salad. Those are my main 3 snacks. *GOOD LUCK!Judith Kesterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00630184625794389408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3489781229810584478.post-31142485245445420932012-04-30T23:13:25.775-07:002012-04-30T23:13:25.775-07:00I was starving when I was nursing.

I also love to eat, I just don't snack a ton. And focus more on meals. Nuts (almonds), greem yogurt, popcorn are great healthy, filling snacks. And for the record, I think you have always been tiny!!The Plum Verbenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09397124457326501131noreply@blogger.com
