You make a really excellent point, I dont know how I would have coped with a band post pregnancy. For the year after each of my 3 was born, that was when I gained most of my excess weight. No exercise, very poor organisation and eating habits, packets of chocolate biscuits eaten through the day rather than actual meals, too much takeaway food etc. Its a real danger time.
But then again, people always say, oh, I'm still in my pj's at 5pm. I could never understand that. I always just had a shower, I didnt fart around worrying that I couldnt leave the baby for 5 minutes, I did my hair, I got dressed, if they cried, well they cried!
It really IS possible - especially with a six month old when you're not feeding 27 hours out of every 24. Its hard, but you CAN eat properly if you're organised about it. Eating slow is so difficult around kids, but you know, I eat my breakfast whilst I'm getting them off to school. I know that if I sit down and eat I'll either eat too fast and PB or I wont eat at all becuase I jsut dont have 20 minutes to half an hour to eat breakfast. So I pour my bowl of cereal, cut some fruit onto it, add the milk and eat a spoonful here and there. I usually choose muesli or somethign that wont go soggy. It also gets round that problem of being a big tight in the morning, because I need to eat breakfast or I eat poorly all day.
You can take the five minutes it takes to make a proper lunch or breakfast and pick at it over time. Or make all your day's food whilst the baby is asleep and have it ready to go. Really, the main problem is taking the time to eat slowly, and like I said, when I"m really busy, I pick. I try not to choose snacks, I still have the proper meal, but I just pick at it over an hour.
