How mothers lose weight after giving birth

You will not believe, but our heroine is really 43of the year. And she has really seven children, the youngest of whom will be five years old this year. Jessica Enslow breaks all the stereotypes of mothers of large families: it turns out that a woman doesn’t spoil a woman’s birth, and even decorates it. In addition, the concept of “razvedenka with a trailer” is absolutely unfamiliar to her - Jessica is now married a second time. Her chosen one was not at all embarrassed by the fact that he was marrying a woman with four children. His first child Jessica gave birth in 1994, when she was only 19 years old. Then three more children were born, one by one. In the second marriage were born three more. And now Jessica proudly demonstrates a form that could not boast even in her youth. Just take a look: in the photo on the left Jessica is 20 years old, she gave birth to her first daughter. Photo taken right now. The difference is amazing! No wonder the 43-year-old mother is confused with her 23-year-old daughter.A photo: @ JessicaenslowNa really no magic here is not present. Jessica, like most of us, regularly gained weight during pregnancy. And pretty quickly and a lot. She admitted that when she bore her first child, she did not quite understand what would happen to her body after giving birth. She thought that she would return home from the hospital the same. But no. “When I returned home with a child, I immediately tried to get into my“ pre-child ”jeans. And I had no idea that something can go wrong. Imagine what a shock it was to discover that I couldn’t pull my jeans above the mid-thigh! ”Jessica said. Following the realization that her body would not be the same, fear and depression came. However, pretty soon Jessica was devoured by the daily worries about a whole horde of kids. No, from time to time she remembered that it would be nice to lose weight, tried to follow a diet and exercise, but there was no system in this approach. Therefore, he brought some fruits, but all this was not that.1/3Jessica – on the rightPhoto: @jessicaenslowPhoto:@jessicaenslowPhoto: @jessicaenslow“I ate Nutella by the spoonful. I spread it on toast and even bananas. And I only worked out if I came across some schemes on social networks. I got fired up and quit, I got fired up and quit,” the mother of many children describes her path to perfection. And then the children grew up, Jessica had some free time. And she decided to spend it on herself. “Something clicked in my head, and I realized that my own habits were turning me into God knows what. It was time to change everything,” says Jessica. And her children and husband supported her in her decision to take care of herself properly. The woman began her major “fitness overhaul” only two years ago. Now she gets up at the crack of dawn to go for a run in the morning, before the children wake up. Then Jessica takes the children to school, and she goes to the gym. "I wasn't trying to lose 20 kilos in ten days. I just did everything I could. Without fanaticism, but persistently achieved my goal," she explains.1/6Photo: @jessicaenslowPhoto: @jessicaenslowPhoto:@jessicaenslowPhoto: @jessicaenslowPhoto: @jessicaenslowPhoto: @jessicaenslowShe had to reconsider her eating habits, too. First, Jessica stopped counting calories – she prefers intuitive eating. “The body itself knows what it needs at the moment,” she believes. “The main thing is not to confuse intuition with food indulgence.” Jessica’s diet is based on proteins, and she allows herself cereals, whole grain bread, vegetables, and fruits as carbohydrates. She can have a piece of white bread, some French fries, or a couple of squares of chocolate – just enough to satisfy her inner craving for unhealthy food. “My metabolism can’t handle a lunch of a burger, French fries, dessert, and a milkshake. It’s a given, and you have to accept it,” Jessica shrugs. The hardest part was learning to control her appetite. And in principle, distinguish it from the feeling of hunger and finish the meal on time. After all, it often happens that we eat an extra piece simply because it is tasty. And by that time we no longer want to eat. “Just be consistent. If you break down, skip workouts, eat unhealthy food - one day pull yourself together and return to a healthy lifestyle. You will definitely notice progress,” Jessica is sure. Feb 6, 2017 at 7:47 PST
