My body is still bouncing back after number three, who will be three months old in a few days. Getting back into shape is so important because I have so much more energy and sleep much better. I also like that the kids see us work out together. However, crash dieting is just too dangerous and is not a long term fix.
I should also add that pregnancy is not a free excuse to pig out. At no time is mom eating for two. You couldn’t tell I was pregnant from the back. I gained the appropriate amount of weight and still wore my pre-preg skinny jeans unbuttoned almost through the third trimester. Our obese society that that encourages women to love their curves does not help. I was criticized plenty for not plumping up, simply because so many women do.
I’m still bouncing back and my “baby” turns 34 next month.
