When most women have their baby, their priorities change, they lose interest in the things they used to do before - and suddenly, their whole lives take on a powerful new meaning - all focussed on being a mother. Although it’s tiring, it is also a blissful and magical time getting to know your new baby. As a mother, you’ll never feel like your old self again - in a good way! However, there comes a time for many women when they want to work towards regaining their own body shape.
If you are planning to work towards body goals after becoming a mother, there are some golden rules to keep in mind:
Do not put too much pressure on yourself to lose weight - it takes time
Do not embark on any fad or restrictive diets that cut out any of the food groups
Eat clean
Here are our tips to help you work towards your pre-pregnancy body … or even better!
LET YOUR BODY RECOVER FROM BIRTH
After giving birth, your body is in an adjustment stage, so it is very important to let this ‘repair’ mode happen and not hurry into a diet and fitness regime. Give your body enough time to recuperate and restore its normal processes. Understand that getting your body back into shape will take time, so as your body heals, remember that patience, good health habits and loving yourself will go a long way.
