A weighty issue.

Unfortunately these are before and afters, in the wrong direction! After losing the baby weight quite quickly (anxiety and not eating will do that to you) I now found myself feeling mentally well but physically blah. Medications, breastfeeding and poor food choices/portions have meant I have gained a lot of weight and none of my clothes fit. (My jeans are undone in the second shot.)

Quelle horreur.

For me, my weight is my thing. I really don't want it to be an issue, I don't want to obsess about it. I want to model good body image to my kids. I think I have a lot of work to do on my psyche too.

I have decided to take part in the Michelle Bridges 12 week challenge. So many people have had success with it, the meals look delicious and the shopping lists and meal plans seem too easy?! And it's breastfeeding friendly. I love on the website where it says 'many breastfeeding mums will experience intense cravings and hunger pangs, particularly as they struggle through exhausting night feeds. But having healthy snacks in the fridge or nappy bag can help prevent bakery raids and coffee shop stops.' Oh my word that's me. The bakery raid and coffee shop stops. All over.

It starts February and the pre season starts now. Watch this space.
