A little update
Hi,
I’m 11 months postpartum. Gained a lot of weight after pregnancy unfortunately. Probably too much information, but just wanted to share my journey and see if any other women relate. During my menstrual cycle, I’m fine. I don’t have cravings and don’t feel the need to indulge. As soon as my menstrual cycle is over, the cravings start again and I’m back to gaining weight.
Recently I decided enough was enough. While I’m not actively doing OMAD I’m doing OMAD and 2 snacks a day. So far, it’s helping me. As of a few days ago I stopped drinking alcohol. I have a weakness for blue vodka cans. I drink water throughout the day during my fasting window. I incorporate salad with my main meal. Then I eat two snacks only later on. So far, this is helping me. Give it a few months I will be back on OMAD. I have lost some weight, though not noticeable but I can see it in my face and my knees don’t hurt as much. A lot of my weight gain is also due to Anxiety and Depression. I didn’t actually realise it, but I comfort eat. I’m pleased with the small progress so far, hopefully I will get there one day. I’m walking more as well.
