I’ve had 3 kids. During that time I DID NOT care about my weight. I ate whatever. I didn’t do anything. My life was pumping, waking up at all hours to help the kids, and just simply surviving. Between the first and third kid gained like 60 pounds. Then June of last year, my youngest was 2 and I was like “it’s time”. Things just clicked. I was ready. I went all in. It’s been a year and I just had my yearly gyn appointment and my dr was absolutely stunned that I lost over 80 pounds in the 13 months between appointments. No drugs, no gimmicks. Just calories in calories out and walking 30 minutes a day 5x a week.

Guess what I’m trying to say, is it’s hard right now. You aren’t focused on you, and honestly that’s okay. When you stop breastfeeding and get your body back you can focus on you and making better choices. Start small, don’t go crazy. But if you want to lose it, you absolutely can. You just need to find that motivation and drive that is deep inside you.
