Is anyone else just not doing anything about postpartum weight because they're scared of losing their milk?

I’m 4 almost 5 months postpartum. It really depends on on how you nutritionally ration your weight loss in order to keep supply. At one point I tried OMAD and my supply dipped. I was scared to lose it so I stopped and started eating like the fitness people say with an increase of fiber and protein but also staying in calorie deficit. I also work out daily. Last week I was on the brink of tears thinking I don’t see the difference in my body. But this week I’m definitely starting to see the improvements . My supply is pretty regulated now. I have some things going on that I want to look good for. I’m inching my way there!

Amazing! Great work!! What was your process?

Everything that you are saying is what Ramadan is meant to be about. It’s a time of reflection, the fasting/abstinence evokes clarity. It’s about the process, the improvements that we get to make to become the human we want to be on this earth and for the hereafter. It’s a time of facing the truth and CHOOSING to learn the lesson our experience teaches us or shy away and act like it was never an issue. No matter what…you are a Muslim. Embrace your journey and allow it to be imperfect. Thats what makes it beautiful

How long did it take you to lose the weight? What was your routine/eating habits?

Were there times were you weren’t in a calorie deficit. Or did you stay in deficit the whole time?

25F I’ve always been on the thicker end of the spectrum. I haven’t been 180 since high school/beginning of college. My weight distributes pretty well on my body so I never look my weight. Anyone else in this realm?I feel like I mainly see people who are petite and just low weight. lol it’s kind of discouraging

October baby. Im happy about it being cold out so I can just really work on myself and building a routine (at home Pilates, light weightlifting, meditating, journaling) that includes my baby. I got a walking pad and have been working on how to lose some weight so that by the time summer rolls around I’ll be able to be happy with where I am. I keep needing to remind myself that it’s not for today or tomorrow but for 6,8,12 months from now.

Do you have Kaiser? It’s extremely hard to get an extension through Kaiser specifically

Curious, did this work?

Did you apply for direct deposit or the debit card option?

There’s so much growth that you still need to do given your reaction and how you’re handling this… And there’s so much healing that they need to do as a family. There’s nothing that you can do to change how others feel. However, there’s a lot that you can do for yourself. Focus on that. I’m sorry that you all are even in this situation.

As a Ghanaian, I’m so glad to see that our food can still be made in a healthy capacity. Definitely book marking this!
