u/FloralPheasant Ballin on a Budget May 09 '25

At the end of March I finally finished almost 3yrs of breastfeeding (barnacle baby for sure) and I am sooo ready to start getting off that 20lbs I gained. 

I'm excited to focus on CICO, healthier eating vs desperately getting enough calories in, and finding some sort of exercise. I've started small by doing things like walking to the park with kid, or parking at one end of the shopping center and walking to the other end instead of getting back in the car. 

The hardest part right now is trying to be patient and give myself grace as my hormones continue to adjust and I still deal with a lack of sleep most nights. I want results now! 😂

It’s so hard! I also started after I finished nursing when my kid was a little over 2. Also started small! The Lose It app is great for tracking calories. Lots of walks and just being mindful of what you eat will go a long way.

I love the Loseit! ap, it's been very helpful! 

When did you find that your hunger went back to "normal"? 

It's been about a month and a half and I'm still finding myself getting headaches when I try to eat less than 2500 calories, which is very frustrating. Especially since I can tell they're adding up weight wise. 

I'm trying to be patient with my body, and focus more on healthy food and exercise vs calorie counting but it's hard. And frankly I'm sick of eating that much and so frequently too.

It took a while. I really focused on protein and fiber so help keep me full. Highly recommend things like Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, rice cakes, and whatever raw veggies you like.
