Postpartum motivation!

Wishing you all the luck it took me 12 months to get back to a decent size and then 3 years to get back into my original wardrobe. This is my 2nd pregnancy and it's nice to have some motivation to lose weight and eat right. Because the baby weight has boomed from 145 - 173 ilbs . At 5.2ft it's heavy .Good luck lets do this. Scales will be dusted off and brought out from the dark side of the cupboard.

While pre-making food for the week is a great idea, be careful when you are tossing around words like ''processed". There's nothing wrong with milk, for instance. Or cheese, or butter, or yogurt (which is on your list, BTW). All of these foods are processed. Bread, anything frozen or canned, are all processed. And there is nothing wrong with eating any of these foods. Telling people not to eat things like "processed" foods can lead to guilt and avoidance, which can cause disordered thinking about food and our bodies.
Instead, let's focus on things like yes, pre-making meals to save time. But it's okay to used canned ingredients in those meals. What is really important is accounting for all the ingredients in those meals by weight so that when you are consuming them, you know how many calories you are taking in and can stick to calorie goals. That's really where weight loss success will be achieved. As long as your diet is well-rounded, with protein, fats, and carbs, with vegetables and fruits added in, and you are sticking to your calorie goals you will lose weight and be healthy doing it. Eating foods you enjoy along the way makes the journey a happy one.
