how to lose weight? Postpartum

Hi mommies I’m a young ftm going thru postpartum right now and wow I don’t know how to say this.. I don’t recognise myself anymore. I chose not to do confinement as I really cannot tahan no msg for a month and now I’m suffering everyday because of it. I feel cold 24/7 and my bones have nvr felt so weak before. What’s worse is I can’t seem to lose the pregnancy weight. It’s been close to 2 months and I’ve lost Ntg. My relationship with food is now so bad.. I barely have appetite because of how insecure I am. I don’t even want to look in the mirror anymore. My boobs is uneven, stretched marks all over my body and everyday eating feels like a chore because im just eating for the sake of my child (breastfeeding). And the pregnancy brain. How do I get rid of it? I’ve nvr felt so blur so weak so forgetful before in my whole entire life………. Please help I wanna love myself again. oh and before u come at me saying if I don’t eat 3 meals a day my breastmilk is not nutritious all…pls know I’m trying my very best.

I feel for you. You sound so stressed up. Pls go do something that helps you destress. Stress does make a person gain or retain weight. Also, post natal massages helped me lose some pregnancy weight and inches too. And, how abt gg to the TCM to “get your health” back? It’s gonna be a long process, but it really does help. TCM is a slow and steady way. Otherwise, if you’re planning to get pregnant in the future again, make sure you do your confinement properly. Cannot tahan also must tahan. It will help “reset your body”. Remember, to love others well is to love yourself well first. You can do it! Nothing’s lost yet. As long as there’s life, there’s hope. All the best! 💪🏼
