Weight gain / stay at home mom

Hi girls

I’m so fed up and stressed out. We decided between us that residing our daughter is first priority and work would come second. So almost 4 years later I’m now looking at going back to work part time as my daughter is now in nursery 3 days a week. However the anxiety is killing me. The place I worked for offered for me to go back but here’s the thing. I don’t look how they remember. They remember pre pregnancy slim me with perfect skin and hair done. Over the last 4 years I’ve put on 3 stone which I put down to being at home and not as active as I used to be and I’m very self conscious about it. I was self conscious before I gained weight so now it has doubled. It’s putting me off going back to work to the point I’ve been trying to look for jobs from home or night work where I won’t see anybody.

I’ve been trying to shake the weight I’ve gained but then we got put into lockdown and now I just feel stuck in a rut. Looking for a little motivation, tips and tricks to shift weight and maybe some advice about the weight gain work anxiety I am having.

Thank you xx
