Also, I have never liked exercise before this past year and now I'm kind of addicted. It's wonderful. I hope you get there too.

Commie bastards.<br /><br />I *did* find that when I got pneumonia, and was sick for several weeks, that the weight dropped off. So that's what I recommend, get really sick. Or a tapeworm. Or both. I've tried to figure out how I can get some sort of tragic thigh/butt injury that can only be resolved via emergency lipo...but I haven't worked that out yet. ;-p<br /><br />I love you girl!CarrieAnnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06808091097075888333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2337083237542839004.post-52389566848342847802009-06-01T23:06:04.373-06:002009-06-01T23:06:04.373-06:00With each of my kids I had to wean earlier.

Not at all the bonding moment it was supposed to be. Even though it made me sad, I knew it was the right thing to do, and when it's right for you, it will be right for Amelia too. It's always better for everyone to have a well-rested mom than a tired, cranky one. I hope she doesn't make it difficult for you and that you are able to then start doing the things for yourself that you need to.Shellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17674207693314828357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2337083237542839004.post-81189148866344762722009-05-30T16:51:09.065-06:002009-05-30T16:51:09.065-06:00I'm with Ethan on the first part of that comment. ...I'm with Ethan on the first part of that comment.

Here's an idea I had that you can take or leave, and I won't be offended - set a rule for yourself that you can't turn on the tv until you've ridden your stationary bike for twenty minutes. I use rules like that for myself all the time: no computer games until I've studied for two hours, no fun reading until my homework is done, and in high school, no computer until I've practiced the piano for an hour. That way you're motivated to get the hard stuff done. Just an idea. Good luck! - NathanielThan & Linahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12142100156661788211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2337083237542839004.post-67397114367095990012009-05-28T17:01:05.318-06:002009-05-28T17:01:05.318-06:00HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2337083237542839004.post-18542448858337194482009-05-28T15:33:09.023-06:002009-05-28T15:33:09.023-06:00Um, I don't really know what to say...

We all know a happy Mom is a happy family and vice versa. So, you know you are doing the right thing if it is going to improve you and your family's overall quality of life, general health and well-being and just plain happiness. I wish I could tell you a secret to weight loss, but the only thing that worked for me was starving myself-haha! And we don't want to go there - an impossiblity with kids anyway! I wish you all the best. Don't worry a second about Amelia. The Lord will bless you and her - you ARE doing the right thing. <br />Happy Belated Birthday!Denyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11467541413931462972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2337083237542839004.post-22585032412735449672009-05-28T11:05:20.064-06:002009-05-28T11:05:20.064-06:00Heather,

I have some great weaning resources.<br /><br />Good Luck with your weight loss journey! Any amount can only make you healthier.

I couldnt BF and my kids are healthy as any breast fed baby. I do not think any less of you. And for those who do critize us then they can just go suck an egg. Or whatever they want to suck on. <br />If you go to Golds i go there too. If you want we can get together at least once a week and work it out. <br />Good luck. And if you can pray for me too.

You need to feel good about yourself and you need your rest. Those things will help you to be a better Mom to Amelia than continuing to nurse even though it makes you miserable. Motherhood is full of so many good, better and best decisions. It is tough. Good luck with the weaning and the weight loss. My best suggestion is exercise with the diet. I do better with exercise than with dieting myself and it helps a lot.

I usually lose almost 30 pounds in the first two weeks after giving birth (tons of water weight + big babies) and then I usually gain while nursing, even when I drink 2 gallons of water a day. I am RAVENOUS when I nurse. And my babies have all been incredible nursers too.<br /><br />I agree with everything about this post -- except the title. It's not selfish to want to take care of and make healthy your baby's mother. In fact you OWE it to Amelia to be as healthy and happy as you can. <br /><br />Good for you for doing what you need to do to get there!Jane of Seagull Fountainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14842786356309158400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2337083237542839004.post-40316563102358565092009-05-28T09:08:26.870-06:002009-05-28T09:08:26.870-06:00Good Luck! i actually lost the most weight the fa...Good Luck! i actually lost the most weight the fastest while i was nursing. i just increased my water intake, decreased my calories, walked, and the baby ate 600 calories per day. it was so easy while nursing. the weight dropped off. <br /><br />i hope your plan works for you. i know your mom and dad are going great on it. so you have lots of support right there at home!Sylwiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16367764109444733995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2337083237542839004.post-90339255702657735012009-05-28T09:05:19.350-06:002009-05-28T09:05:19.350-06:00Hi Heather!
Look, I found your blog! (wonder how? ...Hi Heather!<br />Look, I found your blog! (wonder how? lol)<br />I know exactly how you feel, I breastfed my youngest four years (everyone thought I was totally weird)and did almost the same with all three of them. It was awsome but I gained a LOT of weight (serious!)for some reason those 500 calories you're supposed to be losing daily when nursing did not make any efect on me. All the oposite, I was turning huge.<br />I did lose weight though, a few years afer weaning Marco I lost 25Kg (which is a lot, remember I am 1.50m, about 5 feet).<br />Do as you feel like doing, you are be a great Mum no matter what (the fact you think you are selfish and all that troubling thoughts of yours prove it babe).<br />However I solved crankiness with a vitamin B complex (B12 more that anything)That would help with sleeping too.<br />Chomping and yanking with a little(not painful) spank in the butt and a loud NO! (I was afraid my nipples were going to touch the floor by the time I'll stop nursing).<br />And the diet I made does not control amounts or eliminates any nutrients so I think is totally "compatible" with nursing.<br />(this is just a way to say that you could also "think out of the box - think spanish! jajaja)<br />Look, fifteen years without knowing anything from me and I come back turned into a boring para-maternal pain in the neck.<br />Love you tons, let's keep in touch!Patrixjasyuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08757625623290476427noreply@blogger.com
