My Weight Watch...

Something that is going to be mentioned a bit on this blog is my weight. Sorry in advance. I have a pretty good sense of humour about it though.When I finished highschool I went to uni and studied Naturopathy for two and half years before I set my status to 'deferred' I think it still is set at that. ...hmmmmm....that was set back in 2005. Anywho, I got caught up in loving earning money and spending money but my interest in the field has never died. I'm no longer one for crazy diets to lose weight (oh I tried some crazy ones in my teen years!), coming from a family where both sides has its fair share of history of illness I am all about healthy weight loss and general health. I love natural remedies and use them whenever I can especially in relation to my cooking but hey I'm only human and a BIG lover of food....specifically carbs!

So even though many of my meals are extremely healthy and diet friendly, I find that the big bad carb monster preys on me through my need to be money savvy. Making myself a couple of vegemite sandwiches throughout the day is not helping me. I find it a constant challenge to keep myself full while breastfeeding Hudson. I love breastfeeding and have no intention of giving it up any time soon but keeping my appetite under control whilst keeping my supply up is the never ending battle.

There is the traditional line that people say when they are pregnant I find is "I'm hungry and eating for two". I didn't find that at all. Considering I did gain a whopping 25kgs when I was pregnant I really wasn't that much hungrier to usual. Then fast forward to Hudson being born and luckily breastfeeding like a champ. I had never been so hungry in my life and still get this way on days when he feeds quite heavily. However, I do feel the certain need to look back to pre-baby now that my son is 8 months old. Admittedly I am back to my pre-baby weight. The 25kgs are gone however...the remaining 62kg are distributely COMPLETELY different. The way I look now there just appears to be 3 or 4 kilos that still need to go. Oh the battle continues between keeping perspective and as much as I want to look back to 'normal' and feel great, Hudson comes first and I don't want to jeopardise my milk supply for this beautiful big little man.

So the 'Weight Watch' for me is staying healthy and keeping the balance!...And yes. I am going to lose these 4kgs!
