Postpartum Weight Loss- Have You Lost Your Identity?

Many new moms tell me they feel they have lost themselves and are no longer pursing their passion or fulfilling their own dreams.  My advice is to be kind to yourself.  It takes a while to adjust to being a mother, and it can be very overwhelming.  The first step to “finding” yourself is to write down what you miss doing, and/or what you would like to do.  Once you understand what it is you want to do, take baby steps towards reaching your goal.  For example, if your goal is to have your own business, your first baby step would be to research online possible business opportunities, or to call a friend who has her own business.  Breaking down your big goal into smaller pieces makes it do-able!  Every baby step you take builds momentum towards your larger goal.
