Bettering Thy Health

Perhaps one of the hardest things we as females struggle with after birth is the day we walk out of the hospital, look in the mirror and think OH GOD, you cant even tell I lost weight. After 9 months of thinking Im gonna be right back to what I looked like pre baby, you get a glance of post baby. I know that for most of us, post baby isnt great. I was thin all my life but when I got pregnant with Logan 4 years ago, I thought I would drop all the weight just like the rest of the women in my family did. However, after gaining 98lbs and only dropping 20 within the first 2 weeks I figured out that I no longer had the skinny gene. I tried gyms and exercise videos but never really did them. I was depressed. Id look in the mirror and hate what I saw. Stretch makes and flabby skin, a double chin and a whole lot of fat. I visited my parents shortly after and seeing my mother and sister looking better then ever just made me envious. I tried to put on a brave face and joke about it but deep down I just felt worse. I had no friends and no family anywhere near me and I just started to literally waste away in my room till I decided one day that I would not let this define me. My son deserves a mom that is not at risk of an early heart attack. I strongly succest that if your trying to lose weigth invest in rollerblades and a jogger.
