New body!

Anyone else struggling with the way they look after baby? Iv gained soooo much weight from pregnancy to now! I can’t stand to be in pictures and constantly looking at my reflection seeing how big Iv got! None of my old clothes git at all and having to buy 3 dress sizes bigger than I was before! I know I should be kind on myself I grew and birthed a baby but I really hate the way I look now!

I’m exactly the same I’ve gone from an hour glass 12 to an 18 covered in stretch marks, I don’t know how I’m supposed to diet either when I’m breastfeeding, I feel like I’ve changed completely and am embarrassed to see people I’ve not seen for a year, I feel as if I’ve gained since pregnancy too, I don’t know if I have since I refuse to weigh myself, I’ve told myself as soon as baby boy starts weaning and doesn’t need as much milk I will start a calorie deficit but until then I just feel like pizza dough…

Yes this x1000!! So difficult seeing all my close friends on skinny jabs but this isn't the route I would ever go down

@Josie literally the same! I can’t even dress how I like to dress! Same with breast feeding I don’t know how to navigate it! When I feed I’m so hungry and thirsty after!

@Becca I considering when I stop breast feeding ah 😂

Same, hating this hot weather because I have nothing to wear. Living in gym leggings and baggy tops

Same! Don’t know how others do it but I’m eating so much now that I’m breastfeeding. I’m always trying to hide the new size of my arms in pictures🤣 . What annoys me is that I lost weight while pregnant but have gained so much while breastfeeding. Please be kind to yourself, when it’s time to lose weight, we will get to it. It’ll be easier when we’ve weaned our babies. Right now, I’m focusing on surviving the day.

I'm also in the same boat. I only wear primark Leggings and tops and with the hot weather I can't even fit into any of my dresses/ you can see my overhang.

I feel the same way. I used to be a size 8 with a lot of muscle definition and a flat stomach, small waist .. im now a size 14 which btw is totally ok .. I’m going through a phase now of accepting and welcoming my new body .. u brought a beautiful baby boy into this world and I am so thankful for that. We have many years ahead to work on losing weight etc so this is all temporary xx
