I was breastfeeding and trying to keep a house running at the same time
After having my second child, I was having a difficult time getting rid of my post baby weight. It seemed that all I had to do was look at food and I was gaining more weight. By the time my baby was a year old, I had already gained another fifty pounds on top of the twenty-two I had kept after having my baby. I wasn’t feeling well, diabetes was knocking on my door, and my husband wasn’t happy with me. He told me that he loved me no matter what, but he couldn’t lose the weight for me. He suggested I go to a nutritionist who could supply me with a nutrition training plan. I was really upset that he wouldn’t just work with me, but he was willing to find a nutritionist for me. I had never been heavy before and I didn’t think I needed a nutrition training plan. I thought that if I had just had someone to talk that had already been through this, I could change the way I eat. It wasn’t like I was overeating on purpose. I had to keep up my strength with a two-year old and newborn. I was breastfeeding and trying to keep a house running at the same time. I ate when I had the chance, which wasn’t often. I began thinking of all the excuses I was using to get out of going to a nutritionist and getting a nutrition training plan. That’s when I realized I had an eating disorder and I needed more help than what I was thinking I needed.
