After childbirth, I could barely stand to look in the mirror. I hated
what I saw; still, because of I was a lactating mother, I could barely control
the hunger pangs and just continued eating. Did I think ‘Lose Wight’, ‘Weight
loss’, ‘Belly fat’? Not the slightest bit. In my defence, I started jogging but
the pound weren’t falling off just as fast and due to demands, I could barely
keep up my jogging routine; I tried dieting but it was not working because I
was abstaining from the wrong set foods and eating just what I was not supposed
to eat.
Due to the presence of so much estrogen released during pregnancy,
most times, it becomes an uphill task to dismantle the stacks of fat firmly
built into the body. Also, muscles disappear during pregnancy making it really
difficult to lose weight. Anyway, as I stopped breastfeeding, I began to
consciously reduce my food intake and lower the frequency at which I eat. I
started seeing a semblance of the old me infront of a mirror.
My tummy still was not obeying any reduction exercise then I got
introduced to lose weight DVDs which I almost did not use. I was amazed at the
transformation my stomach took; it flattened completely. Through my experience,
I learnt not to eat for two during pregnancy as well as to eat healthy. It was
a really difficult fight; but tell me ladies, do you have an even easier or
better way to lose all that pregnacy fat? I really wuld want to know.
