[quote=Anonymous]Hormones are a bitch. I could eat whatever I wanted or I could eat low carb/low sugar/low whatever and it didn't matter. Nothing changed until I stopped breastfeeding completely (and I had really dwindled down to just a few minutes in the morning, so I did not expect for it to matter). Once I 100 percent stopped and excercised 3-4x a week (cardio) and just ate sensibly, it fell off. It sucks feeling fat in your own skin for so long, especially when everyone says "oh I didn't do anything just breastfed I lost all the weight instantly!" but sometimes it doesn't work that way. It was really bizarre how my hips/thighs and my arms shrunk so fast because in all other times of trying to lose weight in my life I have had to fight HARD for each pound.

Also, you don't say how tall you are, and I mean this kindly, but it's not like you're a whale....go easy on yourself. I was you for a long while and I wish someone told me to stop looking at the scale until I stopped breastfeeding. Don't let yourself go off the deep end with eating thinking what does it matter, I'm fat anyway! as you drown in pints of ice cream, and once you're done hopefully it will melt off for you, too.
