I'm 8m postpartum and had a c-section. I have been trying to lose weight for a long time now, around 5 months or so. I don't have any scales anymore as I find them demotivating but am instead going by the fit of my clothes and it was working well.
I was going out for 2 huge walks a day with baby in the carrier, getting to the gym 2-3 evenings a week and getting all the fresh and healthy choice food I needed from the supermarket regularly.
I can now only do 1 of these walks and it's nowhere near as challenging and getting food is becoming an issue now too
I have such a sweet tooth and have been finding myself filling the days with baking and eating far less fresh food as I haven't been able to get it in bulk as before and can feel myself sliding down the slippery slope.
If I had to estimate, I would say that I weighed 13st immediately after baby was born and must now weigh somewhere around 12st. I'm 5.8" and almost 30. Currently a dress size 12/14.
I have started 16/8 fasting today and try to make sure I walk at least 2 miles a day. I am trying to make sure my portions are around fist size and that I eat plenty of vegetables, whole grains and healthy fats. I am trying to drink plenty of water but coffee is a must at the moment with a small and exhausting baby in the mix, I do try to have it black most of the time.
Is this enough? Will I be losing weight? Feeling so lost and unmotivated now when I'd just got on a good roll before lockdown
