Every time I go out into public with Lydia people are always commenting on how I don't look like I just had a baby. Some are nice comments about how good I look or what my secret is. But some comments are actually mean. Like telling me to eat a cheeseburger or "geeze just gain an ounce already." So ladies I'm gonna tell you what the secret to my success is because obviously it is a secret.
1. Eat healthy when you are pregnant. It is a common misconception that you can eat whatever you want when you are pregnant. Well yeah you can, but you gotta work all those extra pounds off after you give birth. Yes I understand pregnant women have cravings. I craved frosties and pickles this last pregnancies, so I allowed myself a jr. frosty no more than 2 times a week and found another way to get my craving fix in a healthy way. Like chocolate milk for example.
2. Give birth naturally. C-sections don't release the same type of hormones that tell your body to get rid of all that extra stuff that came with being pregnant.
3. Breast feed and don't supplement under any circumstances for the first 6 weeks. During the first 6 weeks the new baby takes in all your stored up calories. If you don't breast feed or you supplement with formula then those calories just stay with you.
4. Eat a lot when you breast feed. If you try to diet while breast feeding your body will store calories much more easily because it wants to make sure you have enough calories to feed the baby and keep you healthy. In fact you may actually gain weight if you try to diet. I did when I tried to diet with Delores.
5. If you weren't skinny before you got pregnant you may not get skinny after you give birth. Except it and embrace it. Okay well that isn't a step or a secret but it's a fact.
So that's what I got. That's my little secret to loosing baby weight. But it really is no secret. Just use your body the way God intended you to and it'll just fall off.
