I had a baby in lockdown 1 and didn’t really gain weight during the pregnancy. Since then I’ve gained a stone a half and it’s tipped me towards the very, very high end of overweight on the BMI chart.
I have 2 other kids plus both working and feel like I literally have no time to myself. Currently we are all at home. I’m eating to feed my sanity and drinking (not loads but extra calories most nights too) I’ve have some joint issues so usually swim to keep my weight down but obviously that’s not an option at the moment. I’m so bored pounding the pavements where we live particularly with a whiney toddler.
Also feel like all my friends are needing to save their own sanity so all the chat that happened remotely in lockdown 1 has faded.
Just feel a bit broken and feel like I need a path back to getting healthy and motivated again. Our main meals are pretty healthy but I’m stuffing my face in the afternoon and evenings as feels the only outlet at the moment. I feel like I’m so fat now that I can’t get myself motivated to eat better because it seems so far away being a healthy weight which I know is a stupid way to look at it!
Please if you’ve experienced similar let me know what worked to get you back on track!
Also so as not to drip feed baby still doesn’t sleep that great and isn’t settled in an evening so really feel like time is so pressured!
