@rejisamuel I gave up trying to lose while breastfeeding. I still did regular walking every day and yoga. My appetite wasn’t that significant so I just ate as normal. I’m about 35lbs overweight. Once I stopped breastfeeding and period came back I’ve now started calorie counting and upping my...

@3revan Just came to say I feel your pain and that I think we need to make “postpartum rage” a legit thing, just like postpartum depression or anxiety.
