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?

Welcome to the world of motherhood :) Don't fret, this is normal. As we feel the tasks weighing on our shoulder, we just can't resist the temptation to find something sweet to help us carry out the day's never-ending work. Firstly, take a deep breathe and tell yourself "Today is a fabulous day!". Enjoy the moments bonding with your child, play some soft music in the background to lift your mood. As you go through the daily housework, talk to your child and tell him what you're doing. Get him to pretend to do what you're doing [sweeping, vacuuming, putting laundry into washer, folding clothes etc]. When he rests, give yourself a short break and rest too. To exercise, you can put the child in a stroller and bring him out for walks in the nearby garden or playground. Such bonding time is precious! Who knows, you might befriend another mother living in the neighbourhood and you can meet up occasionally for walks and chats. Remember, you are a wonderful mum! All the best :)
