This morning was probably my last time to nurse my sweet little girl.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I have been dieting hard for the last 4 weeks.\u00a0 Calories cut to 600\/day.\u00a0 Yes, I am well aware that this is extreme and that it isn’t sustainable.\u00a0 (This is the diet I did last year and lost 20 pounds in 5 weeks, and got pregnant with Ali in the middle, so I had to stop dieting 10 pounds from my goal.)<\/p>\n
I have been waiting to start the diet until I was ready to cut down on nursing and that happened at the end of September.\u00a0 I started the diet on September 23rd and was only feeding Alison in the mornings.\u00a0 Somehow I have been able to have enough supply even with the crazy cut in calories…until today.\u00a0 This morning she nursed for like 6 minutes total and then pulled away screaming.\u00a0 I am afraid I don’t have anything left.\u00a0 Sad day for me.<\/p>\n
Some of you might be judging me for being vain and choosing to diet even though I knew it would diminish my supply significantly.\u00a0 Rest assured if I only had like 10 pounds to lose I would have waited.\u00a0 I have lost 21 pounds in the last 30 days and I don’t regret feeding her formula for a moment.\u00a0 She and I (and Randy) are much happier with a mommy who feels better about herself.<\/p>\n
I loved nursing you Alison.\u00a0 I loved holding you close and spending alone time with you.\u00a0 Now I guess we will just have to start shopping together for our bonding time.\u00a0 Just kidding Randy!!!<\/p>\n
