Hi everyone. I was on here once before but I stopped visiting when I got busy with school and found out I was pregnant. Well my daughter is now 1 month old & the spring quarter is almost over. I couldn't find or remember my login from before so I made another.
I am back trying to lose weight. The good news is that I am now 1 lb less than I was when I got pregnant and I wasn't trying to diet.
I had a revelation this weekend though. My MIL visited from out of town. I got married young & I went from high school to marriage. That was really the first time I was really home during the day. And we lived with my MIL for a while. My MIL eats almost constantly during the day. I have been trying not to snack during the day & realized when she was here how much I had been mimicking her habits. I am now redoubling my efforts. It seems to be harder today than it has been for a while. I think it's because I was exposed to that snacking mentality again.
So I have been drinking a LOT of black coffee today. It's keeping me from eating between meals when I am really not hungry. I am not gonna lie though, it's been really difficult this morning. I keep getting up an going into the kitchen and then I remember that I don't want to do that.
