Dieting

[Coolbeans2010]

Hi girls, just wondered when you started dieting after giving birth? I'm bottle feeding Isla, and so I'm thinking of joining slimming world this week - Isla is 3 weeks old on Monday. Just wondering if it's too soon? Feeling a bit down as I have no clothes that fit me and really want to try and get back to fitting into some of my ore-pregnancy clothes. I tried on some clothes yesterday whist out shopping - nothing fit either too tight orbtoo bug if i went up an even bigger size! everything looked horrible on and I feel really crap about it!!

Xx

I started as soon as I got home from the hospital x

If your FF you could start when ever, but bf I'd give it a few weeks to let your supply settle.

Also maybe worth bearing in mind that first few weeks can be stressful, and I know I certainly didn't have time to eat all that well - was grabbing snacks on the go. So don't put too much pressure on yourself. Xxx

Thanks girls, gonna give it a go just had a breakdown that nothing fits me. Don't think my OH understands and thinks i'm being dramatic but I don't want to wear my mat clothes anymore plus a lot of it is now too big and I can't for into my pre-pregnancy clothes. It can make you feel really down. I like to look nice but I feel like a scruff bag!! Xx
