...would love some advice and reassurance! i gave birth to my son 9 weeks ago and am feeling a bit low about how huge i feel. i'm not a vain person but i can feel this knocking my confidence...i am about 2 1/2 stone over my normal weight and am now 'officially' overweight with a bmi of 27.
of course i realize that it's only been two months and it's going to take time - but everyone said breastfeeding would help with weight loss...i've also been eating very healthily and going for walks in the park etc. even managed to do a workout dvd a few times! so imagine my delight when i get on the scale yesterday to find i'm a few pounds HEAVIER than a week ago! i'm concerned my metabolism could be on a sloth like speed or something...also terrified as my mother put on masses of weight after she had me and never shifted it. she didn't really try to lose the baby weight but she definitely does not overeat and the weight has NEVER come off...worried i am destined to be the same.
i would love to hear if anyone had a similar not losing weight while bf experience, and also would love reassurance that this weight can come off and i'm not destined to be the weight of a rugby player forever...xxx
