Please help me! I've posted before about my manic hunger when bfing and have been told this is normal . Seriously - it feels like it's geting worse and worse as time progresses .
To put this in context, I had a really tough pg and put on about 3 stone (well, that is 6 weeks pp I weighed 3 stone more than pre preg, so when I was pg I was prob more like 4 stone heavier). Since having DD I have overcome alot of problems to get to bf and am really proud that i have managed it abd do enjoy it ;. but i find i continue to put on weight and find the hunger really hard to deal with - i have to eat about every couple of hrs in the day and have big portionss at meals yet i'm still hungry alot. if i don't eat so much i find i very quickly become dizzy, feeling sick and faint. my dd is 5mo. i don't want to stop bfing at all but am really struggling with self esteem issues re my weight to the point i dont like meeting friends as i look so different to pre preg (and alot of people havent seen me since prepreg as i was so unwell) so feeling so hungry and eating so much is so soul destroying
