[ Original Post ]

I have this friend who has had 3 children and two of them were twins. She is having a hard time because she was very small and petite, she was wearing a size 6 and after her kids she know is in size 14. I tried to comfort her and told her that after having children it just takes time and efforts to get back the way you once were. Her 1st child her daughter was 8.7 and her twin boys were both over 6 lbs! ouch. Any suggestions for her?
Thanks ↓

Maybe you to could work out together? When I was able I did Tia bo It burns 800 caleries in 1 hour and it is fun. Just start out slow. If you two went for walks even that would be a big help.
Just remind her that she is still beautiful and the same great person she always was.
Much luck!! ↑

Faith,
You sound like a wonderful friend. Just keep being that wonderful to your friend & remind her the only size that matters is the size of your heart. ↑

juat tell her to walk alor. i know exactly how that feels. im 17, 5foot4. i was in size 5 before i got pregnant and then i gained 86 lbs and now im in size 13. im losing it slowly by walking off but believe me, if you havent been there you dont know how it feels. i have never weighed over 140 and now im 179. . . its depressing but ive got my baby and when i look at him anod realize that beautiful little thing is what caused this, it seems to make it better. i love him to much to be depressed and mad over something he did. tell her to think about it that way. its kind of easy but then again just walk and eat healthy, i have ben since i had him 11 weeks ago!! ~amber ↑
