    Thanks for that reassurance.
     
    I also thought I'd add that I ate another cupcake.  [&o]

    My "thing" during pregnancy was chocolate pudding and fudge bars.  My husband was thinking about buying stock.  [8|]  Oh, for some reason, I also liked cans of tuna with mayo and seasoning, and that's it.  But, lots of chocolate hit the tummy and I don't think I was too adversely affected.  [;)]

    I had to find the recipe online just to know for sure how to spell it.  [sm=lol.gif]  I'm gonna have to make some SOON! 

     
    A word to the wise - make it the day BEFORE you want to eat it, or at least make enough for 2 days.  It improves immeasurably from sitting overnight in the fridge and letting all the flavours really meld together.

    My advice is, if you're hungry - EAT!  Don't worry about getting fat.  Listen to your body.  Just be aware not to eat because you're bored or upset and don't keep eating once you've had enough.  If you're doing all that and planning to breastfeed and exercise too then don't worry - you won't turn into a blimp!

    I'd imagine the losing while BF'ing thing might be dependant on the size of the kid you are feeding as well. My son was over 9lbs, and he gained pounds every week lmao...I would wager I put a lot more calories into him than I would've a 6 pounder...but I could be wrong?
     
    I am a genetic skinny minnie so I can't speak for all...but I did lose during BF'ing. I stopped feeding my son around 7-8 months because he simply was too huge for me to handle and he wanted to eat so often and so much my poor bosom's (meager to start with) were ALWAYS full as can be, as soon as I regulated to stop leaking...he'd bump it up again...it was unreal!
    ...wah [:(]

    The cure for leaking (other than those pad things, and even pre-baby) are those cute knit shawl things.  Of course, that doesn't work in the summer, but...I just remember leaking a lot, even before the munchkin was born, and it just got over everything.  Be prepared! :oP
