EBF Weight Loss

I'm EBF and my LO is 5 months, so same boat

I feel like I’m addicted to eating sweet things to at the moment which before I was pregnant I didn’t eat too many sweet things. But now I crave chocolate, cakes etc 🫣

I feel so bad as 2weeks after giving birth I was nearly back to my normal weight but now after 5months I have an extra 4-5kg on. I’m blaming tiredness as I also got addicted to chocolate. I don’t like coffee and feel need energy from a bit of a sugar rush.
I used to do keto diet but now I worry it would affect my milk supply as I’m EBF

aww I’m exactly the same! I lost pretty much all my weight straight away. Was close to getting back into jeans I’d say about 8 weeks post partum. But now I’ve put about 5/6 kg on . Definitely from sweet stuff as when I’m busy all day I just end up snacking on unhealthy stuff like you say for energy cos I don’t drink coffee and usually just drink water

yep, I must have a bunch of chocolate always available and I finish dinner and an hour later I'm wondering what sweet things I have

I’m thinking I’m gonna from Monday just keep an honest food diary for the week and just eat how I would and then try and tackle the snacking either with a more filling main dish or healthier snacks 🫣

that sounds good, I was going to start going for walks cause there's lots of hills and fields here which make good exercise terrain but it won't stop raining 🙃 I need to find motivation and time where I can do home exercises instead but keep putting it off 🤦‍♀️
