Hunger not Sleep

I could once again write about how I coslept with Noah last night from midnight on and how he woke me up from 5am on... but I'm too hungry to go on and on about that one. I'm eating only 2000 calories a day which in the days I did the Prism Diet (PD) seem like a whole lot of calories. On the PD I ate only 1200 calories and I remember being hungry most of the time, but I did lose 30 pounds in about 10 or 12 weeks.

I figured out how many calories I'm probably expending and trying to eat less that. I burn 2864 calories a day! Wow no wonder I eat all day long while I'm nursing! I get to eat an extra 600 calories because of my little night waker.

Originally I thought that eating 2000 calories would make me not so hungry, but I'm oh so wrong. You see about 2 1/2 years ago I ate only 1700 calories a day and lot 10 pounds in a month. I only quit because I was soooooooo hungry all the time. Then after I weaned Hannah I tried to lose weight by exercising for hours and hours, but it was actually harder to lose weight after I weaned her by exercising. Hence the reason I'm doing this now. I must get ride of my maternity clothes and my pot belly. I don't want to resemble a lolly pop but I'd much rather not look like a frumpy mommy for the rest of my life. Also at the same time, Noah's (my little night waker) upper front tooth has a very nice bubblely blister where it's trying to wittle it's way through and they only thing that will stop the crabbing (and the night waking) is to have my breast in his mouth. Which means he's put on the feed bag but I'm not eating any more!! So for example I normally just breastfeed him (it takes less than 5 minutes when he's not teething) bounce him on the exercise ball until his eyes get droopy and put him in bed. Tonight he was wiggeling all around like crazy so I just let him stay on and suck away.

Another strange phenomenon is when I weighed myself today I weighed 176 pounds. I don't know what happened. I just started this calorie restriction yesterday. So I'll try not to seem like I'm complaining. My goal weight is 160 but what every weight I am by July 4th I'll just be happy with. And I'll take a little break after that...
