[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]

If you are doing the cooking try reducing the white starchy carbs in your diet.  Make a veggie side dish like mashed cauliflower instead of potatoes.  Make lasagna using zucchini noodles instead of pasta.  Then go for a walk together after dinner.  You can also buy no sugar added ice cream on hand.

Don't do a complete overhaul of what you're making.  Just subtle tweaks.  You can cook low carb w/o it being super obvious that you are doing it.  And reducing sugar/starches will help to reduce the blood sugar swings that are likely making her exhausted.[/quote]
