I’ve been maintaining a 70ish-lb weight loss for 7 years. Start weight: 220ish. Lowest weight: 137. Current weight: 142. I’ve gain weight in quarantine which is already upsetting, but recently found out I’m pregnant and fear what gaining 25-30 lbs (hopefully not more) will do to my body. I wonder if I’ll have the energy to get back to 137. It’s really stressing me out. I was overweight my whole life until I started losing weight 9 years ago. The idea of gaining weight and having to work at it all over again is crushing. I’m having a hard time feeling positive about the pregnancy for this reason.
I’d love to hear from other women who maintained weight loss for an extended period and then became pregnant. What was your experience like after? Did you have the energy to work for it again?
I say “bounce back”, but I do understand that weight loss after pregnancy doesn’t need/have to be immediate and that you should listen to your body.
