Weight Gain instead of Loss

Skye

So it goes back 7 around years ago (2018) I was underweight during my pregnancy which was 48 Kg, and Was advised to eat healthy & drink loads of water which I did and I ended up having upto 80kg at my last term before baby was due.

After having first child I did manage to lose and had 65 Kg

With Second baby I only gained 10 kg, 74 kg but I lost that one quickly too.

Both kids were born via Emergency C-Sections

Now 1st one is almost 6 , Second one is 3.5 y/o.

I went to extreme depression last year ended up having prescription, anxiety meds and therapy.

I lost myself somewhere in junk food and unhealthy habits.

Tho, in beginning of 2024 i joined Gym and manage to do simple cardio and Biking.

However I’m getting bloated a lot and I’m not using any extra carbs at all. But I’m gaining more weight that instead of going back to 50kg, i am now 74, (weight I had with my second bab).

I know it’s unhealthy and I really don’t understand why Diet and exercise not working? I’m 32 now and I feel sluggish and heavy. I never liked myself like that and I do understand pregnancy can change your body so is depression but 10 months of work and ended up gaining 10 kg extra? with Proper diet no junks ….
