Depressed Momma

Its been 14 months since i gave birth and ive put on a lot of weight. i did in fact lose a lot of weight right after birth but was unable to control my junk food and sweet drinks intake to get me thru the day. i feel so depressed looking at myself now. i feel like a loser because i just recently tried home exercises but it seems to be failing because I need to juggle carrying for my child who wants me all the time. i also cant seem to find time after work to do it because i feel so exhausted and i still have so many things to do(housework,cooking etc) How do you mummies juggle the new being a first time mummy yet still look so good and healthy?

Hello mummy, we have all felt the same way after giving birth. Being a new mum is super exhausting, and all you want to do is sleep! Try not to be too hard on yourself, and as much as we try, we might not be able to do everything by ourselves. So if housework /cooking is taking up a lot of time, how about getting a maid/part-time help? That should give you some much needed rest, and time on focus on your little one, or on yourself. Occasionally, it's okay to ask for help from friends/family members to look after your baby, so you can have some me time. Lastly, you are not a loser. You just gave birth to a little human being :) Keep up with your little exercise routines, and I'm sure you'll start feeling better and healthier soon!
