Is Mommy FAT?

After 2 weeks, Mommy has only lost 5kg, shy of the 10kg Mommy lost when Mommy had Keziah. 8 more kg before Mommy return to my pre-pregnancy weight. Yes, now Mommy has good food and more rest with a confinement lady, not having to bath and busy myself with washing. All Mommy needs to do is to focus on breastfeeding, espressing to increase supply and manage the night wakings which are extremely tiring when the little one keeps waking for feeds and not wanting to go back to sleep after. He can be perpetually on the breasts for hours.

Then this afternoon, Mommy decided to weigh myself. Someone too decided to comment that she noticed Mommy was fat and that Mommy was eating alot. Mommy has no choice but to eat since Mommy is nursing and needs all the nourishment for the little didi. Isn't it good that Mommy can eat? Can't deny that there's much to go for Mommy's waist and hips but it's just upsetting to hear this! Or is Mommy eating too much that the stock of food is not enough for her and so the comment? Just yesterday when Daddy's grandma, Jia Jia, visited, she was still telling Mommy to eat more coz she is nursing.

Dont worry about what others say. If piling on a little more around the waist and hips is gonna ensure you nurse the little one well, go on with it. Afterall, the little one is the priority now, isnt it? There's always a chance to cut down on the food intake and step up the exercise once everything is more settled. Cheer up! ^^

oh please!

just tell these pp, "i hope you never get fat even when you are pregnant!"
and smile.....

forget about what they say, you need to build your strength now and your little one needs you. when he turns 6 months and you can stop breastfeeding, then you can diet all you want! but for now, dun even listen to them.

so irritating!

Just ignore them! Who is that inconsiderate person? I will just ask him/ her to go deliver a child. I think you to have lost 10 kg within 2 weeks after having Keziah is remarkable. i think I only lost 5 kg in my first month after delivery. Can't remember, too long ago liao. :)

Hi folks, thanks for all your encouragement. No point pinpointing who. Guess impt thatmy darling hb is supportive. I am amazed too how quickly I lost everything for no.1 and maybe then I was more active in school and not deskbound to have so much fats accumulated at the undesired spots. Yup, there is time for diet..
