... Read moreStarting my journey to overcome binge eating and postpartum body challenges has been life-changing. In just 50 days, I noticed remarkable progress not only in my physical appearance but also in my mental resilience. What helped me the most was embracing realistic fitness goals, focusing on healing my diastasis recti—a condition where abdominal muscles separate after pregnancy—and gently strengthening my core. I integrated low-impact exercises specifically targeting the apron belly area, and gradually I felt stronger and more connected to my body. Avoiding harsh diets and instead adopting mindful eating habits played a crucial role in managing my binge eating tendencies. I also joined supportive communities online, such as #gymtok and postpartum forums, which provided motivation and a sense of belonging. One key factor was patience; the old me would never have believed how far I'd come in such a short time. I learned to celebrate small victories daily, which kept me motivated even when progress seemed slow. If you’re facing similar postpartum struggles—whether it’s dealing with binge eating, diastasis recti, or body changes—know that recovery is possible with consistent effort, self-compassion, and the right support system.

A colorful drawing depicts a girl with curly hair bathing a black and white dog in a vibrant bathroom. The dog is wrapped in a blue patterned towel, and the room features green and pink walls, a yellow cabinet, and a red rug, all colored with markers.
A colorful drawing shows a girl with long hair playing an acoustic guitar, with a small orange cat sleeping nearby. The scene includes a book labeled 'LYRICS', a phone, and a background with yellow lights and purple flowers, all colored with markers.
The cover page of a coloring book titled 'Coco Wyo GIRL MOMENTS CUTE & COMFY COLORING BOOK' features a girl and a cat looking at a goldfish in a bowl. A table reads 'This book belongs to *Wifey*', with an open book and a jar below.
I am really proud of all four ❤️

Also the reason I may have duplicates is because I have been gifted a lot of these, and also I always save some for everyone. I have also been collecting these for a very long time, like before they even became popular ( also yes I did use my jewelry stand for NeeDohs 🤣) #creations
