Momma who feels horrible!

Now I am not a momma, but I can relate very strongly to stress eating. Once I moved out on my own hoooooly cow did the weight come in a hurry. Then a promotion came along with an insane amount of responsibility and boom, another 20lbs or so.
But I really commend you for staring your journey, well done!
You seem to have the right ideas in mind, meal planning is such a huge help it's not even funny. If I get lazy and don't prep, all hell breaks loose; along with a few buttons on the ol' pants! lol
Otherwise I would say start easy, find some workout videos online so that way you can still stay home with baby if need be.
Last but not least, having a good and strong support system is crucial!!! If you don't have support it is so easy to fall back into old habits (especially if you're like me and have zero will power).
You're off to a good start momma, keep it up!!

I'm glad that your postpartum depression has been recognized and diagnosed. You are not alone. I agree with so many of the bits of advice above. Pre-planning your meals is a great start. Little changes add up also.

I was very much in the same boat as you, got up to 329 with my pregnancy, lost a bit with breastfeeding (ok pumping), and then piled it right back on after I stopped. My daughter was 14 months old before I lost the "baby weight," and I had a great support network available in the house with me. Little Bit is my motivation for everything I do. I need not only to be healthy for her, but to lead by example. Your little guy is still young but will hit that monkey see-monkey do stage in no time, so use him as your motivation. (I must agree, he is darling!!)
Stress eating is a very hard habit to break, I'm still working on it myself. Maybe keep the healthiest options on hand for those moments? Lastly, You are not alone. You are worth it.

Heyyy, I am a tad over 5 months pp and holy smokes is it hard to find motivation to exercise while raising a little one. It was so much easier when my only child was 10 years old. But I’m also working on getting back on track with my eating. I gained more weight after birth then I did while pregnant. Add me if you want, I’m also trying to find my steam again. Just taking it one day at a time.

I get it. I am a mom of 3. My youngest is 11 months. I've lost some of the weight, but it's difficult to make it work. I have somewhere between 30-50 to lose now. And demanding babies are the hardest thing I've ever experienced in my life. Its hard when you have a baby screaming, and you're trying to stick to a plan or a schedule, and keep a clean house, (a job if you're working), and exercise and eat well on top of that. Whew! Some women seem to drop the weight like it's nothing. With my oldest, I couldn't lose a thing until I went to the doctor, was diagnosed with pp depression, and took medication that helped me combat it. I didn't get the courage to do that until she was nearly 2 years old. The good news is that as soon as I got help for the depression, I was able to stick with my goals. I started exercising daily (mostly because they said it would help the antidepressants work better), and I logged EVERYTHING in MFP. It was the first time in my life that I wasn't on a diet. I ate normal food, and learned from other people here who were successfully losing. I ended up loosing 100 pounds and falling in love with a healthy lifestyle. The point is, YOU CAN DO IT! But take care of yourself with love first. When you truly love yourself, it will be easy to do things that are good for you rather than scrutinizing yourself and your mistakes. Hugs mama! You got this!

Exercise is so good for mental health, so do it for that reason and it'll help the weight too. Just start with walking, you can put the baby in the buggy and aim for 10,000 steps a day. Good luck!! I'm a stress/comfort eater too so can only lose weight if I'm in a good place mentally. Most of all, be kind to yourself x x
