Let me introduce myself. My name is crystal. Im 27 and have 2 beautiful baby boys. After giving birth to my 2nd, which was also my second c section, i havent been able to lose the weight. I have to admit, my self control is lacking. I have a weakness for fatty foods and a love of sweets.
I was in the military for 6 years, so i really never had to watch what i ate because we did PT all the time. I have since gotten out and with 2 kids under 3 and school full time, i have a really hard time finding quick easy meals to make that both me and the boys will eat. So, im just wondering if any of you know of anything that i could make or anything i can do to help make juggling the time easier.
Also, if anyone knows of any specific exercises that i can do to help with my c section belly, it would be greatly appreciated.
