I have a 3 yr old DD and a 4.5m DD. All semblance of interesting life has kind of gone out the window. Am up at least 3 times a night with one or the other of them. My most favourite part of the day is sitting on the sofa about 7pm and having dinner off my knee in front of Mad Men / Apprentice / (insert slightly crap prog here), followed by hours of snacking - starting healthy - yogurts, fruit - graduating to biscuits, chocolate etc etc. It has become something I really look forward to. Am BF at the moment and doing lots of exercise (at local gym with creche), to counter PND, so at the moment I am not yet the size of a house. But I soon will be if I keep stuffing myself to this extent Blush. Anyone have any tips to overcome the actively-looking-fwd-to-eating-at-the-end-of-the-day thing when I am too knacked to do anything else and have v limited social life due to new baby and lack of energy? Getting desperate and quite unhappy. Any tips and ideas welcome. X

I decided I didn't want to go down the antidepressant route (yet), don't want to feel that numbness that can go with it. Waiting for a counselling appt. What a nightmare up so often last night - I just haul my little one into bed with me now, put her on my boob and try to go back to sleep. Means she wakes up more I guess as she doesn't get both boobs but I just can't keep my eyes open sometimes.
I have ordered Susie Orbach On Eating on the advice on other mumsnetters and will see if there is some wisdom in there to keep me sane...
Thank you for the sympathy!
