Just had a baby a week ago (April 5th) and ive been feeling self conscious. I've noticed I eat more junk than when I was pregnant and before. I was very very fit and active before I got pregnant and i feel that's the only way I can look at myself in the mirror again. Any advice or just a talk about this would be nice.

    <3 Go easy on yourself, mama!

    You are not the value of your body fat. You are clearly not unhealthy in any serious way. You are young, and you will do just fine. Give yourself a month or so, and do what is right for your mind, body, and baby. What a cutie!

    Give it time! Our bodies are not meant to bounce back instantly like celeb mama's. I'm still working on my baby fat...and my baby is 8!

    Go easy on yourself. Everything in your body is going haywire right now including your mental state. I don't mean that offensively, but lack of sleep plus a complete hormone shift can really eff up your state of being. Just enjoy your baby and rest. New mommies need just as much love as new babies.

    Congratulations on that precious little angel. Like everyone said above, give yourself time, enjoy your baby. Oh and I recommend sleep whenever you can get it. :)

    The reason I'm so 'jump into mode' is because I'm in the army. We only have so many days to recover and I don't want to look week in front of these army men since us females in the army always get looked down upon anyways.

    Maybe suggest they try birthing a baby and see how they do. You'll get there. Took me 5 years. Don't rush it enjoy your precious baby. Congrats!!!
