[quote=Anonymous]I didn’t know where to post this but I’m going with the postpartum forum because I am 3 months postpartum and want the advice and input tailored based on that. I have a 4 year old and a 3 month old. I am 35 years old and done having kids.

I was looking at my iPhone “random” highlighted photos and saw pictures of me before kids. I was glowing, I had beautiful long hair, I had nice skin, bright teeth, smelled nice, feminine clothes, and most importantly, I was at a nice weight (not super skinny but just right for my frame). I remember putting on clothes and going out for errands or vacation or date night and I felt beautiful.

I want that feeling back even if a little bit. I miss being beautiful and feeling nice about myself. I am overweight I look pregnant with a C-section shelf and arms that are like big potato sacks. I have weird dark spots on my skin. I’ve been cutting my hair since pandemic began and it’s lackluster. I’m constantly so smelly and gassy. I wear leggings and nursing tanks. I have little kids I’m nursing and I’m not rich so I can’t just buy a peloton or go out for extravagant workouts.

So, I am nursing, but what can I do? Did any of you lose weight and continued to nurse if you had a regular supply (not over supply)? What should I be eating is there a diet I should follow or hire an Instagram trainer or something? How do I get my skin to look more youthful and can I wear it when nursing? I wish I could do Invisalign or teeth whitening but not sure I can do the time commitment. I don’t fell like buying clothes because I’m overweight. BO is out of control how do I help that?

I think if I lost weight I would feel better and other things will improve as well but with nursing and little kids, I don’t know where to start. I feel like the monsters from where the wild things are I want to not be like that. [/quote]
