Shanna became insecure after pregnancy: ‘Never been so heavy’
Your body changes when you have a child, that’s a given. But what if you have trouble accepting your new body? Shanna (31), mother of two sons, became very unhappy because of those extra kilos after the birth of her youngest. And so she turned things around.
With success, because after months she is feeling good again. Although it didn’t always go without a hitch, she says.
Blubber body
“After giving birth to my second son, I was heavier than ever. I felt insecure, flabby and it felt like my body was blubbering everywhere.” Shanna was fed up, started exercising fanatically and with the support of the Cabau Fatburner she lost ten kilos in two months. Yet she lost her motivation. “My diet became too monotonous and that made it difficult for me to keep going. I did maintain my weight, but losing weight was not possible at the time.” Thanks to a two-week program, which included fourteen healthy daily menus for Shanna, she felt the urge to keep going. The result? – five kilograms.
lockdown
Shanna: “I was finally feeling good again, but the third lockdown again threw a spanner in the works: my hair salon had to close and exercising in the gym was no longer possible. And because the kids were around me non-stop, I didn’t have the energy to train at home in the evening. Under the guise of ‘we have to make it cozy’, I again grabbed cookies, sweets and chocolate.”
Conscious food choices
Detoxing gave Shanna the push in the right direction. “Okay, it’s heavy, but I lost seven kilos with it. Since then I’ve been making more conscious food choices and exercising regularly: I’m even trying on my favorite dress from before my first pregnancy. And when I stand in front of the mirror, I think: “I just did that.”
