Postpartum Weight Loss Help

Hey guys!
I just need a little encouragement. I had my baby boy 2 months ago & I am so in love with him, but I’m really struggling with my postpartum body. I tried on my pre-pregnancy clothes today & they still don’t fit. I guess I had unrealistic expectations postpartum & losing weight. I know my body did an amazing thing & gave birth to a beautiful baby but it’s still hard on my self esteem.
I’m so tempted to go back to keto or WW smartpoints even though I struggled and binged on both programs. I have been searching for the “perfect” program for me & I know perfect doesn’t exist, but I wanna fall in love with a program like I did smartpoints but something I can MAINTAIN.
on ItrackBites Carb Concious I don’t eat enough fruit/veggies to eat an appropriate amount of calories (I was eating around 1,200) & conquer cravings I don’t eat enough veggies to eat enough calories. I know I’m complaining & knit picking because I want a quick fix & that won’t happen
Any encouragement is welcome 😭♥️
