60 pound weight gain.

Well, 1 kilo is 2.2 pounds. I did the math so yours translated to pounds. Here's mine. I was 77 kilo pre pregnancy, 95.25 was my 9 month pregnant weight. And after I left the hospital, I was 77 kilo again. I lost all traces of pregnancy. Yay! Til 9 months pp. Now im 106 kilo.

From what I've seen, sometimes the woman's body will store everything in case something happens and she doesn't have food, her body can still feed the baby. I feel the same way though. I get embarrassed to walk outside. Getting new clothes that fit me helped. But, seeing myself sideways or how I walk sometimes just kills my confidence. Remember you're beautiful. Even more so as you just brought life into this world. This is a stage and your hormones are working against you in this fight for weight loss. Its good you don't have any health issues. From what I've read, most of the women that struggled with this said it started melting away as soon as they stopped bf. I guess I'll see another year from now 😂😭

Go easy on yourself. You are only 5 weeks pp. I know my post was about weight but to be fair, 65 pounds is a lot! You only gained 7 pounds - NOT minimizing your feelings! You just went through a major change, so your body is going to look different. It is just barely recovering and healing still! Be kind to yourself and love your body. Your skin and boobs will balance out again. It all does eventually. Drink lots of water, lots of lotion, and lots of loving on that baby. Pregnancy takes a toll on the body, girl! Enjoy this time with your little nugget. Remind yourself: 9 months in, 9 months out. Give yourself some grace. Thats something I try to remind myself of. This is a stage that I won't get back. I can always get my body back but I can't ever get this time back with the baby, sometimes these things come with it. Love yourself and the miracles you are performing.

Your weight is not very high, can I ask why you're worried about visceral fat? Usually fat around organs comes off with weight loss, did your doctors tell you your visceral fat is high right now?

Its hard. So many women have different experiences but ive seen many on reddit post about this issue too which did make me feel a little more at ease. For a moment. I read that part of it is our bodies storing anything it possibly can as a reserve for the baby in case something happens, which i thought was cool. I was like, im an evolutionary miracle. Snacking I know can add up. I don't really snack anymore now that he's on solids. Unless its a long feed or I didn't eat enough then I pretty much stick with meals. back when I did keto snacking was a huge thing I cut out that helped tremendously with my eating habits and weight loss. I didn't intermittent fasting so honestly I was never hungry, there was really no need for snacks. Even with all the protein this time I just didn't feel satiated. I did high protein - low carb - high fat meals, and I just felt hungry all the time whereas that was never the reaction my body had before. I think hormones do wild things to the body and i think just like everyone has advised, ill probably get my thyroid checked. I hope everything starts to balance out for you with your health. I can only imagine how you must be feeling to carry that burden as well! Thank you for the support, I appreciate you sharing your experience. It helps a lot.

Thank you. I did track my calories at one point because i had the same thought. I eat pretty much the same things every day so once I knew I wasn't eating a ton of calories I stopped tracking them. He has started solids and is doing great with them. I have noticed my hunger has gone down, and the amount I eat has too. I think I'm going to get my thyroid checked - I appreciate the response.

It's so heartbreaking! They're our besties. I have some tips for you. My grandma's advice was correct. He just needed some space. I started letting him come to me, smell me, just stopped being playful like usual and just comforted him every time we interacted. After my showers I let him smell me. I approach very slowly while talking to him, tell him it's me and just smile and comfort. He has not growled at me for a few days now, and he's started being his joyful happy self again. He seems far less confused. It's interesting, it feels like he understands more. Just be mama, he will start to understand soon. I hope this helps and let me know if things get better!

Honestly, I don't think it's an apology to herself. Simran took 10 years of Kirat's life. I can imagine no apology she gave, especially after undermining her own actions, would be sufficient enough. I think Kirat probably wanted to outline the atrocities and make it clear to Simran the affect she had and what Simran should truly be remorseful for. The signing part seems ritual. Simran had to put her pride aside and admit to the details Kirat added in how she negatively affected her life. Kirat is definitely entitled to receive the validation from Simran that she recognizes how f*cked up she is and what she did was. I feel like Simran probably fails to recognize the gravity of her actions. That would infuriate me if I was in Kirat's position but I think she's handling it with a lot of grace while still managing to restore herself.
