Any other breastfeeding new moms?

I had a beautiful baby boy 13 days ago, and am having a hard time. I feel so gross and I need to get back on the wagon! I have a long way to go to get back to where I was when I felt good about myself. Anyone else dealing with this also?

My baby girl (#4) is 3 1/2 months now, but I am still BFing. I remember feeling so YUCK about myself right after she was born. But, I started walking right away (5 days PP) about a mile a day, ate well, and drank plenty of water. With all of that, I managed to drop almost 40lbs before plateauing. I lost all of my baby weight and am now trying to get back down towards my pre-kids weight. I still have my moments when I feel crappy about my body - but, when I do, I remind myself of how far I've come and how I'm not done with this journey yet.

You'll get there - just like I will.
