How to get motivated?!

Question

I'm already 6 months pp and didn't do anything at all.. I feel ugly and fat especially when I am in public places or when my husband comes back from PT ( he is in the army) and looks so handsome.. 
How do you ladies get motivated ..?
 I wish I could get skinny over night. I was always a little bit overweight so I don't know if I am just self conscious from the beginning..

Answer

It is mostly what you eat.

I would suggest finding healthy recipes that you really like and starting there. 
If you can find exercises that you like that would be a bonus.

Even if you decide to just take walks as a starting point.  It is hard work but in the end you will realize that it was worth it.

You can do it girl!! ❤❤

Here is my almost 2months transformation!  It really is about nutrition. I have meal plans and workout tips if y'all are interested. Pinterest is my bff.

I'm 8weeks PP & so far I've lost 35 pounds. I did gain 60 pounds and my goal is to loose 25 to go be at my pre pregnancy weight. I'm slowly losing about a pound per week.

Let me start by saying that I started exercising at 6 weeks. I was doing cardio (elliptical) for 30 minutes, and this week increased it to 45. I'm doing a little bit of weights as well. I work out M-F.

Nurtion wise I'm prepping my meals week in advance. Like many mommies, sometimes I don't have time to cook myself a meal because the little one wants my attention & I'm the person who will just grab anything to eat regardless of how unhealthy it is just to have something in my stomach. So what I did is choosing three different meals to cook along with different veggies and brown rice. I make 10 meals 2 per day (M-F). And I normally have oatmeal or a shake for breakfast. For snacks I eat Greek yogurt or fruits.

I guess what keeps my motivated are old pictures, my SO, & baby. I want to feel good about myself.

Down 2 lbs this week so far!  Finally motivated after trying on swimsuits last Saturday! I am not going to look like that when I go on vacation and not buying a suit to fit this body! Walking at least a mile a day, doing more crunches and other leg and butt exercises and like lunges and push-ups daily as well as eating less and better and nothing at night!

Answer

Well it's fine that you haven't started working on your weight loss goals yet, you were recovering and focusing on the new baby which is important but if you are ready to begin I would start slow by improving your diet and getting some exercise, I like to take my baby for daily walks. One step at a time, one pound at a time, one change at a time, it doesn't matter if it takes a while every little thing you do will start to add up.

Answer

I am having a hard time. I am very anxious to lose the weight and absolurlty hate the way I look in the mirror. I try to eat smaller portions, not snack unless it's like fruit, and walk and exercise. So many times I give in and grab something I shouldn't eat and I don't get my exercise in.
