Because they are looking for a helping hand. A friend whom they can identify with and take inspiration from. A guide who will dole out stories and helpful tips. A philosopher who will give them hope. For all practical purposes, weight loss is governed by the same two much-publicized core factors: diet and exercise. And while they may seem deceptively simple, only a new mother knows that it isn’t so! For there are many factors that will try to undermine her commitment to them. And that’s what sets this book apart from other weight-loss guides. It attempts to initiate a dialogue with the new mother, tries to understand predicaments that are unique to her situation, and offers the best solutions possible within a given framework.
