GUESS WHAT!!

I had my baby About three weeks ago I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl, Layla!

I thought for sure after having the baby I’d be in search of the best weight loss supplement, however only three and a half weeks after having her, I’ve lost 20 of the 30 pounds that I gained during pregnancy.

I definitely owe it all to breastfeeding (actually pumping because she was 6 weeks early and too small).

However I’ve recently decided that I’m going to stop pumping. It’s just too stressful. Feeding, changing, bathing a new born on top of pumping, cleaning the parts, the stress of not having a plentiful milk supply combined with so little sleep, is just TOO MUCH.

I feel tons of guilt as a result of this decision, but my partner is supportive and 100% understands that it’s become hard. I will suffer in new ways, by spending more money on formula and having to work hard to lose the 10 pounds (plus another 10 to get where I’d like to be), but my sanity is more important than spending a little extra each month and looking a little cuter in my favorite pair of jeans.
