5 months postpartum..
So i used to be a small girl before i got pregnant. I was very active, I worked out 5x a week and knew the right nutrients and diet that worked for me. i loved doing core workouts and running. I used to love wearing fitted clothes. Now that i’m in postpartum everything has changed for me. I gained probably like 40 pounds. I have arm/back fat that i feel insecure about. I have stretch marks and my skin is loose but not to the point it falls, and i have a mom pooch. The clothes i love to wear don’t look flattering on me anymore. Being a mom is so hard i don’t even have energy to workout and it feels impossible to workout like how do i workout? isn’t there a thing where you can just do crunches or certain ab workouts cause it can make diastisis recti? how do i know if i have it? my nurse checked if i did and said i didn’t.. but i feel like i have on my lower stomach or maybe just a mom pooch like i said. How should i start? i feel like i suddenly don’t know how to workout and what diet works on me. Not to mention I am breastfeeding. I notice i hold on to more weight instead of losing and the more i workout the more i notice my body holds more fat thinking it’s in survival mode. Everything feels hard it’s like suddenly I’m clueless about everything. I know this is off topic but sometimes i miss my old life. when i had time to do whatever i wanted, now i feel like i can’t do anything anymore but i do know that i wasn’t as happy before than where i am now. It’s just a big change and sometimes it’s hard for me to accept mentally and physically.. please help on how can i atleast start with workouts.
