Hey everyone my name is Claire i am 22 years old, im 5'9 i live in england which my partner and my 11 week old son Chase. When i was pregnant i developed gestional diabetes lucky i was able to control it and after my pregnancy was over i was clear.
Although now i am at more of a risk to developing diabetes type 2 now after having it in the first place, And ofc there is also the risk that it will return with future pregnancies.
I was on a diet before i got pregnant i got down to 15 stone.. i went up to 20 stone obviously i was pregnant so i understood that.. after birth i continued eating healthy and staying away from sugar but i am putting weight on. i currently weigh 18 1/2 stone. The doctors keep telling me to lose weight which is making me feel like im not trying but i know i am.
Someone i met lost 11 stone on the lighter life diet, and she recomended it to me i am very tempted as i dont want to feel heavy, i want to like myself and not be repulsed i want to enjoy doing all the things my son wants to do ( i know he is young but losing weight is a slow process) to be able to run upstairs without getting out of breath, as with extra weight some exercise is quite painful.
So basically i was just wondering if you guys think i should go on this diet or not.. i just feel like im not getting anyway at the moment and when i get dishearted i know what i will reach for but i cant afford to give up now.
Thanks alot for any comments
