Postpartum body
Hey ladies
I’m feeling so low about my body postpartum. I’ve put on soo much weight that I can’t stand to look at myself. My arms legs and stomach are big and I’m just not use to seeing my body like this. With summer around the corner I’m dressing dressing up in dresses that shows my arms with a mummy pouch coming out.
I’m just not use to it
I see my friends and other mummy’s with their bodies bouncing straight back after birth and I am just so jealous.
I don’t know if anyone has advice on how I can start to focus on my weight loss. I try and excercise but sleep deprivation doesn’t help. I go in daily walks and I’ve cut down sugar
Not sure what the purpose of this post is. Maybe just needed a vent or something.
But yeah any advice how I can start will be greatly appreciated

You aren’t alone! It can take 12 months before you even start to feel like your old self hormonally. Give it time and you will start to see the changes and feel better. Definitely just focus on eating what is good for you, and don’t put any pressure on yourself.
I got an app called Noom it helps teach you the psychology of eating which I found helps. It does involve weighing every day and calorie counting but it works.. I've lost 12kg so far, baby also born in April so it's been a slow burn and motivation wanes but need to keep going.. I am about 5kg off being my goal weight, but even so after pregnancy my stomach is still bigger and so are my boobs and I still have to order a size up. I have to accept my body has changed permanently and I guess our bodies are supposed to change with pregnancy so it's hard
