Did you take very strong steps to regain your super-toned body after your baby girl arrived? Can you share, for new moms, what the most critical measures were?
“Actually no… it took me over a year to drop the baby weight. I took my time with it – I enjoyed being pregnant, largely because I was told I’d never be able to have children. I was bedridden for weeks and weeks after having Krishna, so I couldn’t exercise at first. I actually didn’t put a lot of pressure on myself to lose the weight quickly, I decided it was going to come off when it was time for it to. I didn’t want any added stress on top of what comes naturally from being a new mother. I didn’t want to do anything too drastic with my diet either because I didn’t want Krishna to miss out on any nutrients from nursing. When you let yourself off the hook, and don’t give yourself such strict deadlines, I think you naturally shift back into working out and eating better more wholeheartedly.”
Many mothers say time is too short to dedicate to selfcare, be it paying attention to one’s diet, or making time to exercise. What is your solution to this time-management issue, given you are a working mom too?
