Lost my spark
Just been having a cry to my husband about how I’m feeling at the moment. Some holiday pictures from a few years ago popped up and I was looking good let me tell you! And now I look at myself and I just want to cry? I’ve really ruined myself and that’s not even from having a baby, it was even before that. I put a lot on when I was pregnant but have managed to lose that weight but now I’m just stuck feeling huge and gross. When I look at the old photos I just looked a certain type of different, not only about 5 stone lighter but just happier in general. I feel sad, I feel huge and I feel like I’m crap at calorie counting even though I know that’s the best way to ugh rant over. I’m off to go cry some more

Hi girl! Just wanted to tell you, I've been there, when we feel exhausted, stress, we can feel overwhelmed and sometimes making bad choices to try to cope, not long ago i was feeling very old and looking my worst, and mostly for the absolutely wrong person i had my baby with, but then I remembered my mom words, "look after yourself, for yourself, no for anyone else" so i started prioritise bit myself, and now the last 2 months started home work outs (to cope with stress) and make better choices and eating more balanced, to be the best version of myself i can be for my little one. And feel better.
Oh my God I completely understand. I used to be 145 pounds and then I had two babies one in 2023 and one in 2024. I am almost 200 pounds and I feel so bad because I’m a wife and a mother and I feel so huge but what I’ve done that really helps is I have been watching what I eat and not eating so much. I’ll eat a huge salad and then I’ll drink my smoothie throughout the day and I’ve already lost 20 pounds. I hope this helps if you ever need to talk I’m here.
I’m with you love, on all accounts. You are not alone ❤️
