I’m with you, OP. Whilst I wasn’t super skinny before kids, I was slimmer and had more time for the gym etc.
My weight is getting me down. Earlier this week, I was so close to ordering the jabs, then I saw a story that frightened me. I’ve been calorie counting since Jan and haven’t dropped any weight (3lb), but I had to be really honest with myself and see what was undoing my hard work - it was the weekends out with the kids and thinking I could relax on calories after sticking to it for 5 days, and I was just undoing my hard work.
This week, I’ve stuck to my calories, even at the weekend, and I’ve exercised each day. Some days, it’s only been a 15 minute workout on YouTube, but I feel better for it. I’m hoping to see a good loss on the scales this week to prove to myself that weekends were where I was going wrong.
It’s hard at first to prioritise yourself a little bit when you have little ones, but that time spent on meal prepping, food shopping etc pays off and is worth the time investment and commitment if it makes you feel better about yourself xx
