You mentioned before that you struggle with an eating disorder. Shoot me a PM if you need someone to talk to. Weightloss is challenging for most women after pregnancy but can be especially daunting for those that carry the burden of an ED (regardless of how severe it is - having a baby can be a trigger). Just remember, it took 9 months for your body to transform in order to be a home for your baby - allow your body time to recuperate :] And also, remember the support system you have! When I was dealing with postpartum depression and postpartum image issues - my husband was there. My personal hurdle was getting stretchmarks. Never had them before in my life. And because I have dark skin, they don't fade like they do with lighter skin. One day, I had a meltdown over them and a friend said, "my husband calls them tiger stripes", and I laughed and smiled. Our bodies go through a lot, and the truth is, they are never the same after pregnancy- so don't put that pressure on yourself! Allow your body time to adjust, work towards goals of a healthy weight and maintain those goals to stay at a healthy weight :]
