Depressed Momma

Its been 14 months since i gave birth and ive put on a lot of weight. i did in fact lose a lot of weight right after birth but was unable to control my junk food and sweet drinks intake to get me thru the day. i feel so depressed looking at myself now. i feel like a loser because i just recently tried home exercises but it seems to be failing because I need to juggle carrying for my child who wants me all the time. i also cant seem to find time after work to do it because i feel so exhausted and i still have so many things to do(housework,cooking etc) How do you mummies juggle the new being a first time mummy yet still look so good and healthy?

I think you have to do this thinking it's more for your overall health than just looking good. I think that's where depression easily sneaks in when we base our actions on physical results because when we dont see it, we feel like it's not working. Start small, start when and where you're comfortable. and then build phase. The key with anything is sticking to it as a habit. So make sure when you do start, you do it at a phase that you dont push it until you hate yourself for doing it. :)
