Momma who feels horrible!

I have a 9 month old baby as well. I gained 4lbs post partum and that was enough to make me realize my weight was going in the wrong direction. My baby was 9 weeks premature and everyday I'd go spend the day in the hospital eating cookies and drinking coffee from the coffee bar downstairs. I had to realize I couldn't eat my feelings and had to stop with the cookies. Once she came home and I was able to, we started mall walking. I'd pack her up and off we'd go. That's how I started with getting the weight off. Then moved onto working out again and really watching what I was eating. I had to stop with the fatty/sugary things I'd grown accustomed to while pregnant. I still had them but once a week or something not everyday. I've lost the 50ish pounds I gained simply by exercising and be very mindful of what I'm eating. I want to be a healthy role model for my little girl and that started as soon as she was born. Good luck in your journey.
