[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I really understand the OPs situation from the DWs perspective. I was 5'1 and 110 when DH and I met, and gained about 15 pounds by the time I got pregnant with DS. After DS was born I was about 130 and by 6 mos PP with nursing and an elimination diet (NO EXERCISE) I was back down to 115. It was awesome and I felt somewhat smug. Once DS weaned and my diet was no longer restricted, I went back up to 130 within a year.

I admit that the first few months back to work I felt completely strung out and crazed by the constant sleep deprivation, pumping, watching my diet[/quote]

hit send too soon...anyway, all of the restriction and stress of those first few months led me to feel like I could "reward" myself once we weaned and DS was sleeping through the night. My DH is fitness obsessed and really does walk the walk. He loves me and tries to be supportive but he does come off as insensitive when it comes to diet and exercise. To me, it's easy for him. It's hard for me. I'm the default parent, I'm always the one focused on all the extras that need to get done in order to keep the household running...and it seems la-di-da simple for him to get his workout in and keep eating well.

OP, I think the poster who suggested you try hard to support your DW in areas other than just eating/exercise was right on. If she's anything like me, she's focused on everything but and comforting herself with treats during a stressful week. Once I felt I had the latitude and time to focus on something other than work and parenting, the weight started to come off again. And of course, now I'm pregnant again.[/quote]
