In the Mood for Food
I've been eating a lot lately. In fact, I've gained back almost half of the pounds that I lost in the past three months, while breastfeeding Lucas.
I crave mostly for food that I couldn't have when I was pregnant. I'm usually not big on sweets, but lately I've been getting extra portions of desserts--ice cream, cakes, pies, brownies, and even stocked on diet soda and ice tea. I crave for seafood--shellfish in particular. I couldn't get enough of oysters--a favorite appetizer, or a warm bowl of clam chowder from Monterey. And oh, how I'd love to have some of those crispy, spicy calamari from a Chinese place in San Jose--they make calamari so well!
I'm still three pounds shy of my pre-pregnancy weight, and thirteen pounds away from my ultimate goal. But with an appetite bigger than my will to lose, such goal is becoming more unrealistic, or rather impossible.

i hear you liz.
it took me awhile after i had ella that i can never go back to my pre-single/mother weight. i realized i am a mother of 2 now and i don't care at this point in time [as long as i am in my normal healthy weight for my height]. i did one time tried to go back to my pre-single/mother weight and i didn't look good at all. i will be satisfied if i can just loose another extra 5lbs - but you know how that last 5 lbs is very hard to loose... looking at this lovely photo [well done by the way, that DOF is awesome], i'll probably forget about the extra 5 lbs to loose, LOL.
Oh no.. I want to have oysters too. As in, now na.. and then 7 up right after.

You look GREAT Cinds! Didn't you remember what I told you when you came to visit? OK, let me say it again then--you look great! You look like a "dalaga" to me! I think you look exactly how you were when I last saw you in Bohol--pretty, young and sexy!

Chi, I think I'm OK with my weight now. I just don't want to gain any more. If I can maintain this, that's good enough for me na! =)

Cuz, you should tell your dietician if you feel that you're not getting enough with your restricted diet. You need enough food and nutrition for your baby. In my case, the insulin shots took care of neutralizing my glucose levels so I can eat more.
