[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm going through this right now, but as the wife had twins this winter. I've always been thin. Gained soooo much weight during pregnancy. I've never felt that kind of hunger before and I lost all control. That wasn't even my first pregnancy. Always bounced right back to normal weight with previous pregnancies. This time I didn't. Lost some weight bfing but gained it back.[/quote]]

Yes, this is what I was hoping, because it just seemed like the BFing would kind of make it painless to lose.

[quote]I don't know what to tell you. If DH said anything about my weight, I'd be crushed. I think I'd emotionally eat to deal with it while he's at work. However, it's a real problem, and if I don't get a handle on it soon, it's only going to be harder to solve. [/quote]

Right, and I am [b]NOT SAYING A WORD!![/b]  I'm actually being encouraging, affectionate and initiating sexytime to give her a confidence boost.  I really do love her and know she went through hell.  But this is what I'm afraid of.

[quote]Maybe you could suggest some healthy activities to do together. Like a family walk after dinner or something. [/quote]

We used to do a lot of hiking, and I think this fall - now that it's a little cooler - I'm going to push that much much harder - I can put him in the bjorn or get a carrier.

For everyone who wants to blame me: we both get nearly 8 hours of sleep a night; I do all the cooking, all the laundry and 90% of the shopping, and I am the one who ferries the kid around all over the place.  [/quote]

Pp here with twins. Honestly, the exercise will make her feel better, but a healthy diet will help her lose the weight. Stop buying so much ice cream. She's going to eat it. I wish I had a good support system at home, but DH travels 1-3 weeks a month. 4 kids, 2 of them are infants, and it's hard to be peppy and shop for and cook healthy meals.

When I'm most successful, it's weeks when I've found the time to prep more. Chop up veggies and have them ready to grab from the fridge as a snack. Have fruit prepped for a smoothie so I can choose that instead of ice cream. Finding time for a healthy, filling, protein packed breakfast so I'm less likely to snack on something horrible and easy mid morning. Things like that, things I did when I was thin and had half as many kids. If you're in charge of food, start working on making sure she has amazingly wonderful healthy options so she doesn't hit the ice cream like I did last night. :([/quote]
