I’m 5 months post partum. I’ve never been skinny and have always been on the “chubby but shapely,” side. Before pregnancy I was at the gym almost daily, I lifted heavy, ran a ton, and did HIIT. When I got pregnant I was sick most of my first trimester so I didn’t workout, and when I did my GD test, my results were hight but not high enough to get diagnosed. Because of that I spent my second and third trimester eating well and walking a ton.
Now I just can’t seem to get my weight under control. I am breastfeeding and I have a pretty decent oversupply. I am working out daily. I haven’t had a lot of time to go to the gym but I did complete the Insanity workout program and literally nothing has happened to my body other than gaining a whopping 10 lbs from my post birth weight. I gained 20 lbs total during pregnancy, I lost 15 lbs in the week after giving birth, and now I’m back up again.
I hate the way I look. My stomach is huge. I’m busting out of all my clothes. I don’t think my husband finds me even remotely attractive (even though he says he does). I am trying to eat healthy but I am just so hungry that I can’t help but snack in the evening. But I’m not even snacking on anything bad! I know I’d have no self control with sweets or junk food so I don’t buy it. I just overeat the healthy stuff. Idk what to do.
