why can't I loose the weight ?!

Question

I understand I'm only 2 months pp but damn I keep seeing all these women that look amazing ! I'm so jealous of these girls that got no stretch marks and no tummy flab 😡 my boyfriend keeps saying you just had a baby ! Relax but it's hard to keep that in mind when these other girls on my timeline that JUST had a baby as well look like they never did ! I hate being this uncomfortable with myself 😩 anyone else feel this way too ??

Answer

Don't compare! It is so hard not to. But don't do it. I know for me I had some days where I felt good somedays I was so down on myself. On the days that were bad I had to stay off social media cause I found myself looking at old pictures of myself or stalking other girls to see what their body looks like compared to mine. That being said, it seems and feels like "everyone" loses the weight fast because those are the ones posting about being skinny again. Most women it takes at least a year to get back to "normal". 
I recommend getting on YouTube and search "Allure post baby body" it is so empowering!!! Here is my favorite quote from it:
"I want to dispel the myth that we have to go to crazy lengths to erase maternity from our bodies, cause it's not going to work. We're still going to be mothers. We still left point A and got to point B and we should be proud of all the steps we took to get there."

Answer

I'm only 3 weeks PP and have 16 of 37lbs left to lose. I still look about 4-5 months pregnant. I think it's gonna be a long road since I'm still recovering from a csection.

Answer

8 months pp and still feel this way. 😫

Answer

Unfortunately some of us never go back to pre baby size and you'll be jealous forever. With my first it took over a year for me to be 20lbs away from my pre baby weight and then just stayed there. After my second, I never got close to my pre baby weight. This time I had gestational diabetes which was a blessing in disguise. I weighed less being full term pregnant than before becoming pregnant. I am hoping the weight stays off.

My daughter will be 15 months on the 17th and I'm still working on looking weight and belly flab. She was nursed sense her 1st birthday so that has helped me loose 12ish lbs. It takes time. I have a bunch of stretch marks all over form both my pregnancies.

Answer

I look close  to my old weight just slightly pudgey but I weigh 15 lbs more than I used to and I don't know how to get rid of the ring of stretch marks around my belly button. I feel pretty gross. I'm 3 1/2 weeks pp and I will say 2 weeks ago I couldn't fit any of my jeans or shoes but now I can get into them so maybe giving it more time will help.

why can't I loose the weight ?!
