I stay home all day with my 2 yr old and baby and my 4 yr old brother. i can't go out and do stuff, so I stay pretty bored all day and end up snacking for most of the day! Today I am going to the local community center to get a membership to their gym, but the child care they offer only takes babies 6 months and up.. so my lil girl is too young to go. Therefore, I have to wait til my hubby gets off work b4 I can go. I know this will help, but I so badly want to start taking phen again. I took it after I had my son and lost about 35lbs in 3 months or so. So, my biggest delima is should i stop BFing now so I can start taking phen or just wait til she's 6 months old and then stop and take them? I want to give my lil girl the best nutrition i can, but I'm afraid I'm going to become more and more depressed if I don't lose weight soon. I only have one pair of jeans that fit me right now and I'm 6'2 so I have to order my jeans online. I ordered 3 new pairs and I guess I gained a lil more weight and they didn't fit! I feel selfish for wanting to stop BFing just to take diet pills. I just need something to help me control my eating and give me more energy. Has anyone been faced with this situation and if so what did you decide?? sorry this is so long, but I really need a lil advice. Thanks. |
Hey Girl this is your choice!! My first I was so young really didn't breast feed, my second I breast feed for 4 months and felt it was time for ME to stop. It is not for everyone, you do feel that you are chained so to say to that and is it wrong to feel that way, No, tis is life. Your baby is going to be better off with a mother that is happy than a mother that is unhappy. Good luck to you!!
