Jelly Belly... It's never going to go at this rate!

[Ilovewellies]

Every day I say to myself, eat fruit if you want to eat. Everyday by 3pm I'm feeling miserable from shovelling junk in my face.

I'm at home full time with 3 kids under 3.5yrs so I should be run off my feet and have no time for all this secret eating.

I feel awful to say that I get bored by the afternoon and I think that that gets me started on the junk food. I'm out and about every morning so can control the eating as I have something to do.

I have tried to do something when I get the urge to stuff my face but it's really hard with all these little people around! I can't walk from my house as live on a busy road with no footpath, plus with winter coming soon it's too dark in the afternoons to go out anywhere. The kids are generally more irritable in the afternoon as they are getting tired so I feel more harassed and eat even more even though I had thought it not physically possible.

I need some help as my tummy should be going down after baby 3 was born not getting bigger & bigger & BIGGER!!!

Plus, baby still waking me in the night so generally quite knackered and for some reason thing that chocolate is the only way to make it through the day!

I'm not wanting to diet yet as breastfeeding but need to control this binging before it controls me for good.

Any tips most welcome.

Thank you...

Hi

I've lost about 2 stone and aiming to lose another 4 stone +

I've got DS who is 3 and DD who is 4. I start the day hopeful and have failed by the end of the day.

I recommend getting a just of water or light squash and water and drinking some about every half hour or so. This will mean that if the food craving is really thrist you shouldn't feel it.

The other thing I do and I don't know whether this is any good or not for you but seems to help. I have a cup a soup if I really really think I might be hungry and it's not a meal time. Soup being a liquid fills me up so that i'm not so hungry.

I've given up caffeine and although the first week was hell i'm now drinking red bush tea and don't miss caffeine at all. I feel a bit lighter and with it.

Oh and the obvious one is try not to have too much junk food around, am lucky as our nearest shop is 4 miles away so would have to get the kids dressed up and car out to go anywhere and really can't be bothered to do that.

Good Luck
