Well, life with a newborn is a bit more challenging than I remember from 3 years ago. Harper is a beautiful baby with a great set of lungs. She is having adversions to her formula and also has colic..YAYYY ME! (note the sarcasm) She likes to scream from 1am-6am. God Bless America! Which brings me to my diet! When she is screaming those hours...There is nothing better to make myself feel better than a snickers, a soda, some junk food that is calling my name! Eat myself into oblivion. I worked hard to lose what I have lost..What am I doing to myself? Of course, its easy to say ohhh sleep when the baby sleeps..psh as if, I have a 4 and 3 year old running rampant during the day, and a beastie girl at night. Hub has been doing his share, but he also works odd hours and just cant be around as much as my sleep would like! I have decided that I cant do this to myself anymore..I must resist. I have been talking it over with my hub that I want to do a consult with my fat doctor again. Maybe he can provide me with a swift kick in the caboose to get me going. I worked hard during pregnancy to not become a heifer that blamed weight gain on baby weight..or oh im eating for 2..or half a dozen depending on how much weight was gained. I dont want myself to become my former self...make sense? Or am i just blabbering in sleepiness?

Good luck!
I guess you're talking about phentermine. Just remember, that will mess with your sleep even more. But then again, sounds like you're going to be awake anyway. Might as well have the energy...even if it's fake. LOL!
A BIG HUG to you and congratulations on your little angel!
Thats such good news. I'm so happy for you. Thanks so much for stopping by. I've been away too long and its good to catch up with my buddies: D
I'm so sorry that you haven't been getting your sleep, hopefully your baby girl will get over the colic soon and you'll get the much deserved sleep you need!
Aug 1st is a great b-day (mine, too) LOL!! I'm sorry you aren't getting tons o sleep right now. If I were around there, I'd help ya out so you could nap.
(( HUGS )) and hang in there! I hope the doc helps out with the phen!!
I understand where you're coming from right now. But I've only got one toddler to chase after, and my newborn isn't colicky. I've been fighting the urge to replace sleep with food (chocolate specifically) too. You can do it, and hopefully the doc can help.
