I can't eat wheat or milk so for breakfast I usually have a protein shake smoothie with what ever fruit is handy (blueberries, apples, banana, or even carrots, etc) or I have plain grits and poached eggs. (a southern thing) Recently I have had oatmeal with a bit of yogurt and blueberries or baked apple bits. All of these are quick and I haven't tired of them yet. Also keeps me full for awhile. |

Amiblue, Your story sounds exactly like mine. My baby is 7 months old now and I am just finally getting this weight off. I used to be athletic also and then just finding the energy to dress myself became difficult. I pumped for four months because of latch issues. Due the hardship of my pregnancy and my insecurity with my huge weight gain and body changes, my husband and I are considering adoption for our next child. I developed a few food sensitivities during this time and have cut wheat, dairy much sodium and refined sugar from my diet. The result of cutting caffine and sugar has been amazing. I have had sooooo much more energy and have found ways to slip exercise into my day. (stay at home mum too) Sometimes even doing yoga or weightlifts with the baby! This has given me even more energy! I have often found it hard to eat enough cals in the day with this kind of diet but at the end of the day when baby is off to bed I have no guilt when I climb into the bath with a glass of red wine :) except, however, if I catch my nude reflection in the mirror. I know what it's like to despise this new you. The whole "be proud of this body that gave birth" thing doesn't move me an iota. But as soon as I accepted myself (not the same as liking myself) the way I was and vowed to change it, I became a little more selfish with myself, my time and my health. I feel that my babe needs to have a role model of a women who knows how to put her needs right up there with baby's and daddy's needs. And you know what? It's working! I am losing weight, losing stress and gaining respect for myself even through the frustration. Hang in there. Forgive yourself, give yourself time make yourself a priority and move into the new even more amazing you.
Sorry for the rant. I just figured all this out not too long ago and I am pretty dern passionate about it!

tuesdays work for me. I used to have terrible cravings when I first started. I just give in to them and work around it and now I have found I have very few cravings at all. When I craved chocolate I would eat a small individualy wrapped piece or have a chocolate flavored protein drink. I guess allowing myself to indulge within reason has diminished the cravings. I am very responsible about it and so no guilt either! |

I would love to be your weight loss buddy. I have similar stats- 185 lbs, 5'6 but I am 29 and a mother of one. I also need some support and motivation:) My gw is 135 and I hope to reach it by next Sept in time for my brother's wedding. Should be doable but it has been slow going so far. |

| Weight Loss | How do I get enough calories with food allergies? | Jun 30 2009 13:41 (UTC) |

thanks for the ideas. My hubby has taken up bread making and his rice bread and waffles are to die for. And as for balancing the check book, I don't do that either. For now I live at a remote location and with my husband in the military and gone many days, I am acting as a single mom. It is often hard to find items at the grocery store so we do what we can buying whole foods and exploring the farmers markets. Thanks again for the suggestions. |
