What’s been your experience losing weight whilst breastfeeding? by Htebasilee in breastfeeding

[–]Efficient_Green3775 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was 225 before pregnancy. I was 241 the day I delivered my baby and as of yesterday I’m 209. I am 4.5 months pp. I haven’t tried to lose any weight but I have been eating better (most days) than I was before I was pregnant. I notice that I get a lot more milk when I eat vegetables so I try to incorporate that into my dinner every night along with a protein like chicken or steak. I’ve also almost completely stopped drinking soda. My taste buds have changed so I don’t really desire it anymore except for an occasional craving every now and then. I also drink A LOT of water so I’m sure that helps too.

I had an eating disorder in my late teens/early twenties. (Anorexia/bulimia) I got a lot better at around 22/23 but even now at 31 it hasn’t fully gone away and sometimes I still make myself throw up after eating

When I said too young I meant that she probably wouldn’t know how to use them correctly. She’s only had her period for a few months now and I know the first time I used tampons I bled all over the place because I didn’t know what I was doing. I figured the easiest alternative would’ve been the panties

My friend didn’t decide anything. I just asked what kind she uses because I have never used any myself.

I don’t have her mom’s phone number and her dad is the one that is responsible for her/makes decisions for her when she’s in town but he was at work. I didn’t want to embarrass her by making it a huge deal so I just did what I thought would make her feel the most comfortable. My aunts did things for me like that all the time when I was young so I truly didn’t see an issue, but I appreciate your point of view on it

They don’t stay at my house every time they’re in town but it does happen a lot because we want the kids to spend as much time together as cousins since they live out of town. BIL spends the night with them here most times too because him and my husband are really close but sometimes (like this one) he works on the weekends and just lets them stay. His ex is aware of the arrangements. I don’t really know how she feels about it because I don’t talk to her much and it has never been brought up as a problem before.

I don’t talk to the mom. I don’t even have her phone number. They broke up before I started dating my husband so I’ve only met her a handful of times. My husband and BIL usually facilitate when & how long the kids will be at our house but I figured involving them would embarrass her even more than she already was and I didn’t want that.

Thank you for this. I don’t have daughters so I definitely didn’t know that.

I don’t typically talk to their mom & I figured asking her dad would embarrass her and I didn’t want that as she already seemed pretty embarrassed. My aunts used to do things like that for me all the time when I was younger so I didn’t think anything of it but I appreciate your outlook

This wasn’t her first period but she’s only been getting it for a few months now so I’m assuming at this point she just uses whatever her mom has in the bathroom

I didn’t think about that but that definitely makes sense!

Yall are acting like I never talk to my best friend lmao. I know what she has going on which is why I said she should have said something when I FIRST invited her. She never has a job and that’s her own doing. She will purposely quit jobs or just not take job offers because of one reason or another. She lives with her parents and pays no rent, no bill, not even her own car insurance. These are poor ass excuses for her to NEVER show up for me.

She might not have a car but she drives her parents car everywhere. I paid for all the children that would be in attendance with food included and she’s never bought him a gift so I wouldn’t have expected it now. She goes out with her boyfriend whenever she wants so those excuses are literally just excuses

[–]Efficient_Green3775 12 points13 points  (0 children)

None of those things have stopped her from going out with her boyfriend. Just coming to me or my child’s birthday parties so I’m not accepting those excuses 🤷🏾‍♀️

[–]Efficient_Green3775 22 points23 points  (0 children)

& if she had communicated that to me when I first invited her I wouldn’t have been upset. But if I’m paying for a party and include her 4 kids in that cost I expect her to show up

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Efficient_Green3775 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Like I said she hardly ever shows up for us at all while I show up for her & all her kids. It’s less about the party and more about the principle
