Body image
Is there anyone else out there really struggling with their body image post birth.
I’m 6 months PP and feel so out of love with my body.
Pre pregnancy I lost 2 stone and was incredibly happy with my image. Now I’m 3 stone heavier than previous and really struggling to accept that I look different.
None of my clothes fit or look the same as before. I’m continuously changing outfits in a morning going from one mirror to the other feeling self conscious finding the parts of me that have changed.
We have a treadmill and it’s hard to use it with the little one around so barely get chance to go on it.
I’ve been in calorie defect for about a month and no change.
A few mums in my area seem to have bounced back to their old clothes and jeans super fast!
Can it be harder to loose weight after birth 😅

Exactly me! We bought a treadmill in Dec and I've used it twice 😢
I try to go on walks daily and am also on a calorie deficit but I've binged eaten since I was a teenager (now 32) and I struggle to stick to the CD.
I hate how I look and I live in leggings and jumpers and so wary of the summer coming up as I never feel happy in shorts/tee.
On some of my bad body days my partner reminds me of what my body created and I feel better for the most part.
Have you tried using the treadmill when LO goes down for a nap/bedtime? I can only do it when he's gone to bed at 7
Please don't compare yourself to others! It's so easy to do but I've had 2 now, my first it took 9m to even get into my jeans and even then they looked horrible! This time I was back in my jeans a week after and I'm back to my thinnest I have ever been! It makes no sense! I remember the devastating feeling after my first and it was summer so I just felt frumpy in everything! The one thing that really helped was shopping weirdly enough! I figured my shape had changed (it definitely has even still) and I needed to dress differently for my new shape! Honestly once id found a couple of outfits I felt good in a lot changed!
Same sis same!
exactly the same with the treadmill. My parents will watch her once a week if they can to let me go on it. Otherwise it’s when the hubby is home but it’s then around 9pm so sometimes too late because of next door.
Just stuck in a cycle and can’t get out of it! I go for walks every day but nothing is helping.
