Babies are supposed to cry.
The most important thing is how can we handle our brains while they do that without harming ourselves or our babies further.

They believe formula is the answer to all their problems and the baby will not cry when given formula. So they land up giving the baby a little formula for certain times of the day. But somewhere inside they want to still exclusively breastfeed.

Fear is a feeling in our body which serves a purpose to protect us.
It can do that by preparing us for the worst-case situation.
But is the worst-case situation really going to happen?
Think about how many times your brain offered that this week.
Pregnancy is one place where we are perpetually scared because we don’t know what we can do so that we have a healthy thriving baby.
No test can ever guarantee the solution to that fear.

PCOS Mindset CoachIs it necessary to give up grains?Is it necessary to give up grains. I have nothing against grains but I don't think our body is capable of handling processed grains. It is keeping you in your current weight.
Whole grains are better than processed grains.
Whole grains like- brown rice, quinoa, whole wheat berry, steel-cut oats
Processed grains - poha, sugar-coated corn flakes or museli, rawa, maida, wheat flour, rice flour, besan, oats flour, instant oats, rolled oats. Any thing which cooks instantly is not good.

So, you my listener are having it.

First, differentiate between emotional and physical hunger.
Physical hunger comes in waves, comes and goes, and overtime stops when a little fat is used as energy.
Emotional hunger comes depending on a thought which is triggered, something you saw, something you thought. It’s a craving.
Learn to be OK with any hunger as allowing Hunger is the currency for your weight loss.
And trust me hunger won't kill you, as your body will access energy from the fat stores while help you lose weight.
