Question

Hi all, 
I am 30 years old 5' before I had my baby I was at 110lbs and I got up to 180 but I also had preeclampsia so that did not help. I got myself down to 150 now and I had her 10 months ago.  I could not Breat feed (so my milk flow was stoped) due to health problems. I don't eat vary much.( always been that way) but I dont know why I am not dropping lbs now at all... I am stuck at 150 :(  and I have 0 energy. What do you guys think I should do? I did have post partum really bad and I don't know if no energy is still do to that.  
Thanks for any help

Answer

I had Preeclampsia and HELLP.. egg small meals throughout the day. Stay clear of sugar and carbs. Cutting those out with help. Your metabolism slows during pregnancy to ensure baby is getting nutrients. So you rarely eating is making it more lax. So it will be naturally harder to lose weight. Try walking a few times a day to get out of the house with the baby. The sun naturally boosts you, and helps with PPD.
I am 5'1 and 110 and delivered my son at 140 left hospital at 122 and went down to 96. Not healthy but I nursed. I since have put some more weight on and I'm back to being 110. It is doable. Try those things firsts. It's going to take some time and it doesn't just come off like it used too when we were younger that's for sure! But you can do this! Good luck.

The less you eat the more your body keeps. You need to make sure you eat even if your not hungry. It's not good to skip meals. Even if it's something small like an apple with peanut butter.

Answer

Post-pregnancy, especially for people with eating disorders, is really hard to deal with, but you should always remember that you can't take care of your baby without taking care of yourself. Don't focus on your body; you have a whole other life to nurture now. ❤️ stay safe

Answer

I have been trying to eat more...not easy at all. I do try to have something for breakfast even if it's just a egg or a piece of toast... I also try and keep myself going all day just to get out of the house (almost anything I can think of) when I get home when it gets about 7 at night I have 0 energy. I want to go walk but idk why I don't. It's like I hit a wall and just give in.  I hate how I am now. I uses to be fun and outgoing and would do almost anything. I just want to sleep and to do nothing :(
