Apologies as I know this has been done to death, but I’m feeling very down about my weight.
I gave birth 12 weeks ago and am a stone heavier now than I was pre pregnancy.
I’m breastfeeding (7 feeds per day) plus supplementing with formula as and when needed. I’m walking 2-3 miles each day.
I’m also eating healthily.
I just don’t understand why the weight is not shifting. Yes; I’m so grateful to have a beautiful son, but the flip side is I am spending all my time with him, feeling fatter and more awful in myself as time goes on. Im exhausted and I look dreadful.
I’d really hoped to get rid of most of the weight by Christmas as I didn’t want to add to the usual festive weight gain. But I’m still in my tired old maternity clothes.
I don’t want to get obsessive or lose sight of the bigger picture, but this makes me feel really down.
I’m 5ft 6 and now 10 stone vs 9 stone pre preg.
