Why is it so hard to loose weight after having babies?

Question

Before I had children, my appetite was very scarce. But after having three children, I can't seem to stop eating! What is the problem?

Answer 1

If your nursing a baby, your body needs to hand onto the extra fat in order to make milk. Is it that you eat because of hunger, or habit, or anxiety? Having a large family, I find that sometimes I just don't know what to do first. The list is just too long. The anxiety can be enough to make me eat when I'm not hungry. Keep celery sticks in the fridge for those anxiety binges. And make a priority list. It gives you a focal point. Good luck. You can do it.

Answer 2

because the Hormones and other chemicals in a woman body are slowly coming back into balance after having to nourish 2 or more body's for about 9 months or so. Also if you are breast feeding then there still is that release of hormones from the body to feed and nourish the 2 body's even though one is now outside. it just takes time.

Answer 3

Do what bspears does. Put a baby under each of your arms and then go to a local store and run for evenone with a camra. Your sure to slim down!

Answer 4

You now have an excuse. You've had 3 babies. Most people will think it's OK for you to always carry that baby weight.

Answer 5

It took time to gain the weight, it will take time to lose it. I went on a low carb diet, it really helped me curb my appetite. Regular exercise (cardio and weight training) will help also.
