This is how I feel right now.

So after my last blog of renewed determination, I followed through with what I was going to do! I said I was going to stop ALL wine and junk food, and cut down on carbs a little.

I achieved all of that! *feeling proud* Biggrin

I was REALLY nervous to stop my wine, as the only way I can deal with SS is by dulling my senses slightly with a few glasses of vino LOL! There were a few moments over the weekend when I literally had to get up and leave the room to have a break from him for a while. But in general I coped without wine WAY better than I thought I would Smile

And the cutting down on carbs thing too. I've mainly been having a small amount of carbs at lunch. Like a slice of bread or a small cup of pasta. Other meals? No carbs at all!! 

I am finding it quite challenging to come up with ideas so I don't eat the exact same thing every day (I went *totally* carb free for 3months a few years ago, I just can't remember what I ate!)

But the *BEST* thing about cutting down carbs, is that it turns out, I really don't feel as bloated and uncomfortable as I did last week. It is SO amazing, I feel great, and my stomach is SUPER happy about it Biggrin Biggrin Biggrin and hey, it's only been one week LOL!

Other good news, is that DH loves the no carb thing too! I'm just trying to think what we've had for meals this week. Um, 

Chicken (coated in flour to make crispy) and salad
Fish wrapped in sliced prosciutto and baked with vegetables
Chilli with cheese on top

I can't think of any other meals right now but we've really been enjoying our food this week Smile I must say I have found myself snacking a lot more, (maybe because I've cut down on carbs so much) but my snacks have been fruit and healthy stuff though Smile

I am so happy about cutting down carbs, I had totally forgotten how great it feels. (it's been 3 years since I was carb free) I am going to continue with this for sure. Not only to lose weight, but to let my stomach feel comfortable. 

It's really good as it means I don't feel tempted to cheat and have more carbs, as I feel so much better without (as many of) them Biggrin

Oh, and also, my breathing is SO much better now, I am feeling awesome Smile HAPPY SUNNY! Biggrin

How's everyone else? Xxx

OMIGOSH congrats NoWire!!! You're doing so well!!! WOW I'm so proud for you! 

Good to hear you joined some FB groups too, if you check up on your FB regularly, those posts from healthy eating groups will remind you what's meant to be happening ;P

I've googled a few carb free websites this week in search of something different rather than eating the same thing all the time..

And I found this website which I really like, I've linked you to the recipes section, which is helpfully split up into breakfasts lunches dinners and even more options, you gota check it out it's great!

Keep up the good work! *highfive!* Biggrin

Ladyface, you just reminded me of that scene in the movie "The Back-up Plan" omigosh it's friggin hilarious. 

"How old is your baby?" (Breastfeeding under a blanket) ..kid pops her head out from under blanket.. "I'm three!" LOL brilliant it's so funny haha!

(Of course I'm trying not to think of the fact that BM breastfed SS until he was pretty much that age too.. Mostly I think just to prove to me that she was "the mom." 

I remember during one pick up, she literally squatted down while talking to DH and I (then BF, not yet DH), and whipped her boob out for (a then 2 year old) SS to suck on. He wasn't even asking for it, she just did it.

Yeh. Nice. We couldn't even excuse ourselves to leave, as she was squatting down inside DH's place.

That's why we don't do pick ups/drop offs at home anymore. Always at a public place so we can walk away. WALK AWAY FROM THE CRAZY. 

Yep.

I'm bloated, stressed and can't do a number 2. Yet I am now fitting in to a South African size 6 from a 10 after BabyD, so yay me.
