March is over halfway through (happy St. Patrick's Day, by the way!) and I've done nothing but gain weight this month. I'm almost as heavy today as I was when I first started Slim4Life, and I'm miserable.
I'm still wearing all of my maternity clothes (mainly sweats) because that's all that fits, and I have a wedding coming up this weekend that I have no idea what I'm going to wear. I'll probably look like I'm still pregnant in whatever I find in my closet that fits.
My children are almost 5 months old, which means that I'm carrying around nearly 25 pounds of "baby weight" that should be on its way out the door, yet I've gained 15 pounds since my gall bladder surgery in December. I'll admit, I'm not watching what I eat at all, I exercise very infrequently, and I don't get a full night's sleep ever, due to the frequent pumping sessions to feed my sons.
I thought that by breastfeeding 2 children I would be able to at least maintain my weight loss after their birth, if not lose weight. I am afraid of exercising too much, because I don't want it to affect my milk supply, but what I'm doing now is not working. I'm not really sure where to go from here. I'll have to start with changing my diet, at least, and hopefully that will start some downward movement.
