I'm right there with you. I have gone through times when I've been really healthy, but others (like now) where I just constantly snack. Ill eat meal sized snacks while standing up at my counter and I have to do something about it!
I don't think I've exercised in 2 months. I feel jiggly, too. I wish I could lose weight by osmosis, I would just watch my Pilates DVD instead of sweating through it. *sigh*

Hi. I've been reading - er, stalking - your blog for a while now. Whatever. I'm also an April '09 mama. (Found your blog from the birth board on Baby Center.) I haven't commented before because, well, I'm lame. That's all.
Anyway, I thought I'd comment on this post to say that snacking (especially after dinner) is NOT necessarily a bad thing. As an "obese" person myself, I'm the last one that ought to be doling out weight-loss tips, BUT I've been working with a personal trainer for the past year and have not only lost 50 pounds, but I've learned a thing or two about nutrition.
My trainer says that NOT eating after dinner is one of the worst mistakes you can make. (LOVE that guy!) He says that not eating before bed puts your body into "starvation mode" which makes you hold on to all the fat you've got stored up. The best thing to snack on is anything with casein protein because it takes your body a long time to digest it. So your body spends the whole night (while you're sleeping) digesting the protein, rather than storing up (and building upon) the fat you already have in your system. Personally, after dinner, I snack on cottage cheese. I realize that's not exactly vegan, so maybe you can research some vegan alternatives that have casein protein.
Hope that helps, and sorry for stalking so long without commenting...
Lise,
Casein is an animal by-product and is therefore altogether not vegan but you're right. Protein is important. I guess I could drink some soy milk at night. Thanks for the tip!
Good Morning,
My first thought is, be gentle on yourself... There seems to exist this intense cruelty to self in our culture and I see it in the tele shows that encourage shame and dislike of body... I love how you have embraced all of who you are Lauren, it's why I follow you - life is about contrast - seeing what we want by what we don't. I would never have known that my body could be this slim if I hadn't have been so heavy at one time. Breathe easy and be gentle on yourself... (One of the strategies I use are positive affirmations placed throughout my house, notes on my fridge, by my bed, in the bathroom etc.that I would be happy to send you photos of) Each morning I just put out to the Universe that I want assistance in order to be better than I was yesterday - just as you are intentionally noticing and stating what you desire.
You are one of the bravest people I have met. Thank you for these words.
...Ellyn
