Struggling with weight!

[RedPandaFluff]

Hi everyone - I'm breastfeeding my 3-month old and I'm really struggling with my appetite. I am HOOVERING up food (junk, mostly) as I have an insatiable appetite. I don't seem to have any self-control, or any limit as to what I can eat. I literally never feel satisfied or full and I'm starting to pile on weight.

Is this normal? I really dislike myself right now

PS I know this is a tiny problem compared to the issues some people are facing at the moment (and I'm trying not to worry about the fact DH has been asked to reduce his hours . . . ) but I'd appreciate hearing advice/experiences!

Perfectly normal and I was exactly the same. I'd just go with it gut now. Try a few things like peanut butter on toast to fill you up without having too much sugar.

I started walking a little more at this stage too.

Try not to worry though, it will come off and you are doing a great job

Thank you @JiltedJohnsJulie - I have started walking more; in fact I did a bit of a run yesterday (well, a lurching trot!) so hopefully if I increase my fitness levels it will encourage me to eat a bit better.

Unless we go into lockdown . . .
