I had my second baby 9 weeks ago and starting to feel so down about my weight. I love food and have rubbish willpower! After my first I bounced back relatively quickly but this time I think I overate during pregnancy due to tiredness and stress of looking after a toddler and being pregnant etc as well as having a lot of nausea.
i went on the scales today and was horrified to find I am still 1.5 stone bigger than my usual weight. I can’t fit into my jeans and I just feel so sad. Annoyingly all the weight is on my thighs, tummy, arms and chin and I still have tiny boobs! (Not breastfeeding)
I have been eating healthier for the last few weeks and trying to fit in some walks when I just have the baby with me but the weight isn’t shifting currently. I know I shouldn’t put pressure on myself but I really want to get back to feeling like me and being my normal weight.
please can you let me know if it’s possible to lose a stone in 4 weeks? I really want to go hard to start with to shift the weight. Currently I’m eating something like the below per day:
breakfast - low sugar nutty granola, skyr yoghurt and berries
lunch - one slice wholemeal toast with butter and marmite or houmous or peanut butter and some fruit
dinner - something homemade, chicken curry with brown rice, salmon pasta with wholemeal pasta etc. doing smaller portions than usual
I might also have some cups of tea through the day.
Can I lose weight like this or do I need to be more extreme? I’m not very good at being hungry and starving myself but I really need to be a bit more drastic or it’s never going to shift. Thank you!
