I have a Neurological condition that long story short causes major fatigue. I have three kids under three and I can only ever remember feeling the way I do with my condition, so to that effect it's normal to me and that's how I cope with the kids and have a happy time.
Before I had them, I worked from home and could sleep whenever I wanted, which massively helped. Now I obviously need to do a normal schedule.
My youngest is five months old nearly (and we might have one more). I managed to lose the weight after the first two were born pretty darn quickly, through massively cutting food and exercising a lot. After the first it was easy enough and after the second I actually dieted a bit to extremely, lost lots of weight very quickly. Anyway, it's been five months nearly and the progress this time is much less. I am not going to cut my food as much as I did before (previous eating disorders as well as other mental illness), but I am eating very healthily and moderately.
It's the exercise that has me stuck this time. I was swimming twice a week and will get back to that and I also did aerobics and lots of yoga last time. I also love to go on walks. The thing is, I am someone who finds it quite hard to shift weight unless I go really hard on the diet and exercise. I have always done this, but I am finding it really difficult this time. I get through a portion of a work out and I just want to lie on the floor.
How do people give themselves energy to get on with it? I really want to be back down to my same inches pre pregnancy before having the last baby (and just in general).
