But, like you, I didn't consider quitting as an option, not even on cluster feeding nights. I hope you don't have to stick with the new diet for too long and I am glad to hear you are getting results already.Johanna Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18104590992013792952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2651957692998392376.post-8433373767754365252009-08-19T20:59:59.816-04:002009-08-19T20:59:59.816-04:00Hopefully it will just be temporary.

I just keep thinking, people have quit nursing for less, but I won't because I just don't see it as an option.Mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13774558034963099447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2651957692998392376.post-67140842390447013682009-08-19T11:41:47.853-04:002009-08-19T11:41:47.853-04:00The diet isn't that bad. We've been on it ...The diet isn't that bad. We've been on it many times before; because of my asthma and allergies, we've been avoiding dairy (milk in specific) and wheat for years. It's a lot easier than you think: rice noodles and quinoa instead of normal pasta, gluten free stuff whenever possible. We don't have a lot of sugary stuff in the house, anyway, because I'm a chick and watch my weight intently. The kosher thing means we haven't been able to have cheese at the table, anyway, and we have far more meat meals than dairy meals because I'm a carnivore and love protein.<br /><br />That doesn't even factor in the low-potassium, low-sodium diet that The Boy has to be on...<br /><br />Anyway, my point is, it becomes quite easy in time. If you don't buy the stuff, then it doesn't tempt you. We make going out for treats (NJ diner-style desserts, ice cream parlor, Rita's, et al) a big deal and a reward, so we don't do it more often than we should.Musical Daddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15771870955589541654noreply@blogger.com
