LOL I also gained weight with breastfeeding 🥲 I think it is the giant appetite in the beginning that then skewed what we see as a normal meal and snacks! Probably stretched out our stomachs in the early days and then it takes longer for us to get full 😭
Hahaha I’m so in the same boat thank goodness I’m not the only one! I tried to diet the other day and made it one day. Day two I was starving all day and kept trying to eat healthy but in the end had to have carbs to fill up. I also wonder if it’s because of breastfeeding or because I’m now a pig 😂
As a mum of twins who are breastfed, I understand you better than anyone 😆 I’ve been eating massive positions of food and lots of fast food to meet my calorie demand 😅 gained some weight too, currently on diet as my babies only feed at night nowadays
100%. “Breastfeeding helps you lose weight.” Oh does it? Can someone tell my body that! 😂 I found it just made me super thirsty and super hungry allllll the time but I also had big babies with big appetites, so the demand was high. I think the main issue with my overeating tho was how tired I was from feeding all the time, I was sugar seeking for energy and sugar crashing from eating rubbish and the cycle continued. I was a lot skinnier right after having them than I was a year later. But it starts to normalise once you stop feeding and you just have to embrace it I think. I just learned to accept my fluffy body was keeping my babies big and strong and I could lose weight later, which I did.
Yes but surprised I have maintained the same weight since given birth. 😅
