losing weight after a c-section..


altho it is normal to put on xtra weight bcoz m on contraceptive injection (depo) and breastfeeding, i honestly dont feel good about myself. wat more when ppl keep pointing it out to me, whc makes my self-esteem plunge the cliff immediately. i am human with FEELINGS after all kan. sape suka org asyik ckp kita gemuk n boncet n still mcm pregnant.. :(


so after reading a few articles on the tis i can summarize tis topic as below:-

1) most articles wud say can do after 6 weeks. but, we hv to know our body. kalau sakit, stop! we can always start with brisk walking, light swimming, yoga.. yg tak strenuous la senang citer.. high impact aerobics? nnti dulu.. jgn ambitious sgt bleh.. :P

2) remember tat c-sect is a MAJOR OPERATION. means hv to be extra cautious b4 doing any strenuous activity, whc includes exercising.

3) remember remember remember tat it took NINE months to gain the weight during pregnancy so at least give ourselves at least 9 mths jugak to lose the weight. at least tau.. 

4) diet is very important. if we're bfeeding, we need to consume a few hundred xtra calories to supply milk for our babies. so snacking in btwn meals tu mmg biasa but hv to watch wat we eat la kan. kalau tiap2 kali mkn n snacking mkn fattening food mmg la makin gemok aina oiiiiiii.. adoiiii.. :P

5) get active WITH baby. means walk around with the baby. ok yg ni mmg kena buat la sbb ayra x nak kena letak when m around.. 

6) ada article ni kata we need 7-8 hours of sleep at night to be able to lose weight properly. ermmm how lehhhhh.. tis is impossible for now! use any extra time to sleep rather than working out kata article tu. use only 15 mins/day for working out - 10 mins jump rope + 5 mins abdominal work out while baby sleeps. pastu rest!

basically we do watever we can within the time frame tat we have. unless u hv a maid to do the housework n jaga baby then jgn byk alasan ok!!!! 

hmmm so will try to do whatever i can la within reasons and in moderation la kut for now.. 
hopefully in a few mths time takde la gedempol sgt cam skrg..
