第二子を出産し、授乳を続けていくと、ひとまず52kgあたりまでは落ちたように思います。二番目の妊娠中に増えたものは落ちたけれど、50kgの壁はどうしても破れませんでした。出産後、落ち着いた頃にまた同じようなダイエットをするのですが、やはり２kg落ちては戻るの繰り返しで、気を抜くと56kgまで増加してしまうという感じでした。
本当に、途方にくれるというか、どうしたらいいのか全くわからなくなりましたね。若い頃はそれで痩せていたんです。単純に、口から入れるカロリーを減らすと短期間で３kg減る、なんてこと当たり前でした。でも四十代で筋肉が衰え、さらに間違ったダイエットの結果代謝がひどく悪い。そうそう、その頃は、ご飯を食べても二時間後にはすごくお腹が空くというような状況でもありました。空いて空いてたまらないので、すぐに食べられるもの、つまりお米なんかをささっと食べるわけです。あれもだめでしたね。空腹を楽しむ余裕なんてない頃でした。
After giving birth to my second child, my weight went down to 114 lbs as nursing. Although my weight was the same as before I was pregnant with the second one, it never was under 110 lbs. I then tried similar diet/ workout but the vicious cycle came back-- four pounds gained after four pounds loss-- and after all, my weight was staying around 123 lbs.
I was completely at a loss. I couldn't figure out at all what the heck was going on. I lost weight by doing it when younger. If I simply didn't eat as much then I would lose six pounds in a short time. But I am now in my 40's, I don't have as much muscle, and my wrong dieting lead low metabolism. Oh then, I would be hungry in two hours after I ate. I would be so so hungry and choose something quick to eat such as rice. That was a totally wrong idea. I couldn't afford enjoying being hungry at the time.
