Nature has a way of teaching us. It's normal to gradually gain weight over 9 months when you are pregnant. And logic would dictate that losing pregnancy weight should also be a gradual process. But thanks to the media, this logic is ignored and Moms are looking to lose weight after giving birth in the fastest way possible. Nature points to health and wellness and the media points to the Celebrity Mom. Mom, you are looking in the wrong direction.

Do you want the truth? The truth is that you need to burn the baby fat and get back into shape. The truth is that the diet pill-fad diet-weight loss Honeymoon is not going last long and you'll be left holding the baggage of weight gain and the disappointment of yet another failed weight loss attempt. The truth is that permanent weight loss requires a change in you. It requires a change in your lifestyle with respect to your diet, nutrition, exercise and time spent achieving wellness.

Lose the Weight by Loving You

A mother loves her children unconditionally. Do you love yourself unconditionally? Warts and all, you are who you are and that goes beyond being a Mom. Losing pregnancy weight must start with being able to accept the "you" outside and the "you" inside. Whether, you are in or out of shape, true happiness is accepting and loving you.

Loving yourself will empower you to be your own guide and coach to keep you on course, to give you sound advice, to push you on when you want to give up, to make you carry on despite set backs. You need you because only you can do it. By loving yourself from within you will lose the pregnancy weight for good.

Bite the Bullet

When faced with a challenge, you get to see another side to yourself and what you are capable of. As a busy Mom, you encounter challenges big and small, predictable and unpredictable and I'm sure that at times you are surprised at what you are capable of accomplishing. That being said, a little self-love can go a long way especially when it comes to losing the baby fat for good. Permanent weight loss will need your ability to know your weakness and your strengths and to capitalize on them to help you stay your course to the finish line.

A Good dose of Honesty

How often do we lie or rationalize to ourselves as we indulge in our poor diets, unhealthy lifestyles and bad eating habits to silence or subdue our guilt. The honest truth is that losing the baby fat will take more than just lip service. It will need us to stop the excuses, lies and rationalizations that keep us trapped in our present state of declining health. Honesty will force you to realize that your health should not be put on hold. It will make you more proactive with regards to changing to a healthier lifestyle by eating right and exercising daily. It will encourage you to take care of your wellness.

Know Thyself

Professionals in the health and fitness industries all conduct some form of personal questionnaire about their clients. Your personal "portfolio" helps them to highlight your strengths and weakness and from that they will be able to better assist you on your goal to trim your tummy and get fit. Likewise, you can be your own fitness/lifestyle coach by getting to know yourself. Start by reflecting on your strengths and weaknesses that can either help or harm you shed the pounds. A little one-on-one with yourself can help your quest be successful.

Love yourself and find out who you are. Knowing and loving yourself will make the task to lose weight more fruitful and long lasting. It will help you to make the transition towards living a healthier lifestyle and a better quality of life. It's your life. It's your body. You deserve it because you are worth it.
