I wondered how many mums were in the same camp as me and desperate to lose weight once they had their little ones. I put on the most weight during breast feeding as it felt relentless and I was so exhausted I naturally used food for energy. I felt so disappointed in myself when I put on weight, but now 8 months later I look back and feel disappointed in myself for feeling disappointed!!!!! I don't know why I felt so desperate to lose the weight, was it the media showing me images of celebrity mums losing baby weight five minutes after giving birth. Was it mummy friends seeming to lose weight easier than I did? Why shouldn't a little baby weight be a badge of honour that I just created a wonderful little human, one of mother natures miracles!!
