This should be relatively short. Today I am stopping my fast, but will continue juicing. Unfortunately, Penelope has had bright green watery poop only for the last day and a half, which according to her pediatrician and a lactation consultant means that she is not getting enough fat. I am not going to go hog wild, but revert back to juicing with healthy meals and whole foods. I am really looking forward to a handful of raw walnuts and some avocado in a few minutes.
Even though my husband is the one who encouraged me to call a LC and our pedi, as he was concerned I still feel like a failure. I know I'm not, as everything I read says not to fast and breast feed. I just desperately want to get healthier (and admittedly thinner) sooner rather than later. I know it is feasible and that fasting isn't the only way there. Still though, I feel like I will be judged. I feel like there are people who will think I am just giving up with excuses. I need to know that what they think isn't what is important, but doing my best for my family is. I will continue to blog, as healthy eating doesn't come easily to me either.
Hopefully my stomach has had time to shrink to a normal size, and I will be full on less food. I know I can avoid fast food and make healthy food choices. I know I can, and I will.
