Is there too much pressure on new mums to lose baby weight?

Subject : On another topic ...

weight gain! I seemed to shrink after my eldest was born and within a month I was my old size if not a bit smaller. With baby 2 I gained a bit more baby weight and as I was pregnant I didn't think anything of it! well it's 13 months later and I feel awful! I have been exercising and eating right but not shedding of the pounds as of yet. I can't exercise as much as I would like as I've got the little one to look after and the big one to drive here there and everwhere for.

I'm not overweight by too much but it bothers me and I feel bad because I've gotten to a point where my head is almost tellingme off for even looking at food and I'm slowely finding myself eating smaller and smaller portions! Is this want to be a better weight turning into an eating disorder?

I think it's been made worse recently by two things:

1) I went shopping with my mum who feels it neccessary to be honest (always). I tried a top on and showed her. I was saying I didn't like the fit and her response was, "yes dear, you look a bit fat in that!" I could kill her some days!

2) Over the past month I've had a cluster of corns show up on the underside of my feet. I had them removed and then the Dr started talking to me about why they might have shown up and how to avoid it in future. He then looked at me and asked my height ( i knew what was coming!) and he then said "maybe it's worth loosing a bit of weight and seeing if the lessening the presure on your feet would help" Frown

This post makes me seen as if I'm a hipo or something which I'm not. I'm only 2 dress sizes larger then I was and the worst bit for me is the tummy roll Sad

I nearly bought some diet pills today at the store but I didn't want to get ill from them ... does anyone out there use the diet pills or have any good advice? or just want to make me feel better?
