I’m a younger adult female. I had postpartum depression following my first child’s birth. One way I found to cope with my feelings was to eat them. 6 months later, I find myself at the heaviest weight I have ever been. I didn’t even crack 200lbs at 39 weeks pregnant, but today I weigh in at 227. It is heartbreaking to see how far I have let myself go. In high school I was so healthy. I didn’t think about what I ate because my metabolism took care of it. I was a year-round athlete. I loved my body. I know I will never get back to that girl, but I also don’t want to be the woman I am now.

My wonderful husband has agreed to start working out/eating healthy with me. He has been such an amazing support person. Unfortunately, neither of us know where to begin. We both really like junk food, and we really dislike vegetables. That’s a problem. I know a big part of weight loss is eating clean.

If anyone has any tips they can give, I would greatly appreciate it. I would like to stay anonymous, so I will not be replying to any comments but know that your responses are going to help immensely 💜
