I was 60 kilos at the last month of my pregnancy. After giving birth, I almost didn’t lose a kilo.

I was so big that I had a hard time moving around and I easily got tired. I was also feeling very fat, ugly, and depressed. I tried controlling my diet, it didn’t work. I also tried slimming teas – I only got diarrhea. I was getting desperate. I wanted to lose my pregnancy fat and I wanted to lose them fast!

My desperate efforts of losing weight only made me sick and more depressed. I had headaches and hyperacidity attacks from diet control and I was so irritable.

One day, I had a very bad hyperacidity attack. I was throwing up anything that I tried to eat. I was so weak that I cannot even lift a hand to hold my baby. At that moment I was jolted, if I die who would take care of my tiny angel?

After that incident, I vowed that I’d rather be fat than be sick. I wanted to be well so I can take care of my baby and watch him grow.

This change in perspective cured me of my depression. My goal shifted from losing weight to staying healthy.

My son is now two years and a half years old. After all this time I didn’t lose sight of my goal to stay healthy. What I lost was 15 kilos of my 60-kilo pregnancy weight. I now fit into my pre-pregnancy clothes!
