✨ Why is losing baby weight so hard? It’s not just about willpower — your hormones are working overtime. 💪👶
During pregnancy, your body experiences a surge in hormones like estrogen, progesterone, and cortisol. These help grow and protect your baby, but they also affect your metabolism, appetite, and fat storage.
After birth, hormone levels drop dramatically — especially estrogen — which can lead to: 🔹 Slower metabolism 🔹 Increased hunger and cravings 🔹 Fat retention (especially around the hips and belly) 🔹 Mood swings and fatigue that make workouts harder
Plus, if you’re breastfeeding, your body may hold onto extra fat as a reserve for milk production. And let’s not forget the sleep deprivation — that alone can spike cortisol and sabotage weight loss efforts.
So if you’re struggling, be kind to yourself. Your body is healing, adjusting, and still doing incredible things. 💜 Focus on nourishment, movement, and rest — not just the scale.
