GAG, My stomach is a belly, gut, and so big! where do I start?

It’s getting bigger, toeing my shoes and other things are so difficult. 😞 It’s possible I’ve given up on myself.

Ah mama, I feel your struggle. That belly can feel so defeating, but you've gotta be gentle with yourself - this didn't happen overnight and it won't go away soon either. Here's what I'd suggest:

Start small - just commit to a 10 min walk every day. Fresh air and movement will do wonders for your mood and digestion. Slowly increase the time each week so it stays manageable.

Hydrate! Drink water throughout the day instead of empty calories. Your belly will thank you.

Swap one meal a week for something lighter and nourishing. Homemade soup is comfort food without all the fat and salt. Just baby steps.

Stretch daily too - it'll remind you to stand tall even when the belly makes you slouch. YogaWithAdriene on YouTube is great for low-impact stretching anywhere.

Mostly, love yourself where you're at. This journey is as much mental as physical. You got this sis - I believe in the strong, beautiful woman you are inside and out. Little changes add up before you know it! Keep your chin up.

Finding a diet first that suits your wants. If it’s weight loss that you’re seeking, then there’s many diets out there to help you to reach your goal. Next would be finding an exercise routine for weight loss. Lose the weight that you’re wanting to lose, and then switch over to exercise routines that tone and maintain your physique. Overall the main thing is self discipline. It’s incredibly hard to stick to a diet or an exercise routine. Sometimes we want to give up. You need that self discipline to be able to stick to your goals.

I understand. But that sounds like another chore on my to do list.
It seems I generally don’t have the time.
Parenting full time and homeschooling them & I’m in school as well as work and tend to the home and pay for everything; clothes, sports, all of it is on me. Adding another just isn’t exciting

Don't give up. Buy a belly belt from Walmart or online Walmart. It helps. Exercise, diet and you will lose any weight. I have faith in u.

[Asker]

Belly belt? Is that a trial and error process?

Thanks to gag. x

I ordered one on Amazon, there’s times to pick from and so many different reviews on lots of different wraps. I’ll likely not be able to wear it at work, it’ll roll up/down or pop off but I can wear at home for many hours that should start things.

You need to go on a diet and start exercising.
