Feeling depressed

[TLESinChristmasStockings]

Ok I am not overly big size 12-14 and I have a good figure (so dp tells me lol) But since having ds2 i can't shift the baby belly,

I don't eat excessivly, in fact i dont eat a lot at all. I am not a sweet eater, although the odd wispa bar sneaks in my shopping.

I eat fresh veg but can't abie fruit lol. I don't eat brekkie or lunch and only a small dinner. I walk a lot so can't get my head around not losing this weight.

anyone have any ideas? as i am really down

you actually need to eat to lose weight but the right stuff

not eating a lot can put your body into starvation mode so your body holds onto fat

so, you do need to eat more

am sorry you feel down - i have eaten non stop over Xmas and need to get back into sensible eating now

Agree with ruby, you need to start eating regular meals.

you must eat, but the right things!!

i joined weight watchers just before Christmas, and although I have eaten plenty of rubbish for about a week, I'm back on track today!!

If yours is just belly, TLES, why not try a few exercises aimed at reducing/flattening the belly?

Don't be down, I've carried excess baby weight for 13 years

Hi Ruby,
Problem is if i eat breakfast I feel sick, always have done even as a child. Lunch I sometimes have a slice of toast. But Dinner time, I am normally feeding ds2 so my dinner goes cold and I then don't eat it.

I know I should have breakfast but it really turns my stomach regardless of what it is.

Any ideas?

Also at dinner time I eat meat, veg, pasta, rice, have to say if i have spag bol i do eat it all lol but the rest of the time i don't. same as I will and can eat pasta and pesto till the cows come home.

how about something really light like a poached egg, wholemeal toast, fruit, porridge

Also, i cannot eat when i first get up but i always have breakfast

i have been having shredded wheat with a drizzle of honey which is nice

have added a pic to profile, 3rd down of me sideways on. I hate it but you will see what i mean!

Poached eggs I can eat anytime. but cereal i can't stand....I never used to be a fussy eater and would eat anything but since having ds2 i am fussy.....don't know whats happened.

It might be right that your metabolism is slow because you don't eat much but it can't be right that eating more now will speed it up. I'm no expert but I think you can only increase your metabolic rate by exercising and adding muscle. I see what you mean from your pictures - you're not fat at all. Maybe you have an intolerance that makes you a bit bloated? I stopped eating bread and cereals last year and noticed a big difference in my tummy (and reappearance of my waist).

what about a smoothie, make with lots of fresh fruit and yoghurt maybe u will get used to the fruit taste, my stomach is in a sorry state, after 2 babes and i am joining the gym asap, as we have a wedding to go to this year.

good luck love

Hunny, thankyou!!!

I think I was just feeling really down the other day. I feel better today and although i do need to lose my belly it is not such a major deal today lol
