And I'm eating his food with him - I think that's half the problem! BLW is all very well, but if they're on full fat cheese, yoghurt, milk, etc, then that's what's in the house and that's what I cook with. If you're giving your baby/toddler whatever you're having yourself, you can't really give them diet food!

I didn't scale-watch before getting pregnant, but was certainly comfort-eating after a couple of mishaps along the TTC way, and I don't seem to have shifted that much pregnancy weight. Breastfeeding at 16 months, but not worried about cutting down and affecting supply, I know that won't happen.

Basically, I eat whatever I fancy , a bad habit from the dark days of sleep deprivation and BF round the clock. NCT meet-ups didn't help much either. Only exercise I get is walking with the buggy - am SAHM and always with DS, so no chance of going for a swim, etc. HATE the gym with a passion and can't afford the fees, besides.

What can I DO? I need a shake-up and a plan. Also need to stop pinching DS's cheese... Anyone in the same sort of boat?

llareggub - hmm, might have to treat myself to that DVD then! I am RUBBISH at self-exercise, but then it turned out I was fairly crap at getting to the gym to work out under the beady eyes of the instructors, too... If it's fun, I'm more likely to do it, anyway.
