does your metabolism speed up right after having a baby

ex84

After the birth of my twins which are 19 months my weight dropped like nobody's business even without trying.....I did start back jogging after I had them but I could eat whatever I wanted now 8 pounds has came on me and I got so used to eating a bunch and not gaining a pound I can't control my appetite..... Help please!!!!

If you were nursing that could be a big factor in your ability to eat without gaining. Having a baby is a big change to hormones and it takes quite a while for them to get back to normal. You are prolly more active chasing around 2 busy toddlers too
