She felt like her body was out of control after giving birth. Slowly but surely, she put on weight until she felt bad about herself when she looked in the mirror. She was 23 years old and already weighed 135 kg. Then I chose to do something. Natasha got pregnant when she was only 20 years old. The girl started to gain weight very quickly, even though she already had high blood pressure. The baby came into the world a little early. The young woman soon found out that her son had autism.

“I did my best to get used to this new world.” “It was hard to meet all of Leighton’s needs, but I did it even though I forgot about my own,” Natalie remembers. After three years, she saw a tired, fat woman standing in front of the mirror, feeling bad about facing herself. Now is the time to act—so how? Natalie began by strolling her son in front of her in a stroller around the park’s lake for two kilometers.

“It took all my strength the first time.” I could, though! Even better the second time. “After that, I knew I was on the right path,” the girl says. This was a turning point: Natalie chose to eat well and go for long walks. Over time, gym classes were added to this. That young mom is now much stronger and more able to take care of her special child. She has lost 60 kg in a year and a half and can now work and play sports regularly. Natalie did a lot of great things to lose weight, but exercise isn’t the only thing that helped her.

It wasn’t important to me what I ate or how much water I drank before. But it was clear that this wasn’t enough. “I drink a lot of water and eat mostly fruits and vegetables now,” the girl says. She says that this kind of food helps a lot to stay slim. Natasha now weighs 75 kg. It sounds like she has very easy advice for other moms who are fighting weight gain on their own:

“Do something to begin. You’ll feel a lot better after this. A trip to the gym in the evening always makes me feel better after a hard day. It turns out to be a great treatment over time.
