I have been working out and "dieting" (not really dieting, but smaller portions and clean eating) for over a month now. I have seen some changes, but I have a feeling I am going to be stuck with the extra tummy pudge forever.
Does anyone have any experiences they can share? I know that weight loss in general is needed to combat pudge, and that you can't just work a certain area.
I just feel like I am going to look terrible forever. I never was super thin to begin with. But now I feel awful about how I look. My husband says I look great, but I hate what I see in pictures.
Before I got pregnant, I was about 130lbs. Now I am about 140lbs. I already felt too heavy pre-pregnancy (I am only 5ft 2in). I think my ideal weight is more like 120lbs, but I've never really been there. Maybe for like a minute when I was 13 or 14.
I am almost a year post-partum. The weight seems reluctant to come off, but then again, I am working out as well so it might be muscle building as well.
