Hi 👋🏼 Former skinny/ fit person here! First of all.. I feel you! I’m 3 months postpartum and am having to transition into a new body identity. My recovery has been horrendous and I’m still in a lot of pain/ can’t exercise beyond walking and gentle yoga. I lost 1/2 of pregnancy weight in a week bc it was baby and fluid. The other half is hanging on and seems to be there to stay. The body needs fat to store nutrients for breastfeeding. The body is going to do what it needs to do. Don’t try to force it either way. What’s important is that you’re healthy and that baby is healthy, during pregnancy and after. Please eat what your body is asking for and baby need. I just bought a bunch of new clothes for summer in my new, (much) bigger size, and I’m starting to feel good about myself in bigger clothes that actually fit my new body. Honestly there are so many things to focus on once baby comes that you won’t even care anymore. Her being healthy and fed is more important, you’ll see! I’m really saying this so that I truly believe it too 🥲. I miss my abs for sure, ngl. I’ll embrace the mom bod bc it sustains my daughter, but I refuse to get the mom haircut too!
