Rapid weight loss at any time is not considered to be good for anyone, but if you have only just had a baby, then it is the very last thing that you want to do. Rapid weight loss can lead to some very unpleasant conditions such as becoming hospital bound especially if you try it soon after having your baby.
If you do want to lose weight after having a baby, then your best bet is to first talk things over with your doctor. From him/ her you will be able to gain a good idea about what you need to do and when you need to do it, to lose weight in a healthy manner.
And this is the most important aspect of all, that you lose weight healthily. You can be sure that a rapid weight loss will not in any way whatsoever be healthy for you. Sure, there are people who do lose weight rapidly soon after having their baby, but these are for the most part women who have the means to be able to hire the best nutritionists, dieticians and fitness coaches to help them oversee their rapid weight loss.
Unless you have that kind of support structure going on, then the very last thing that you want to do is try for a rapid weight loss. You will not only be putting yourself at risk, but also your baby. How does that come about you ask?
Well, if you just think about it, you will be the one who is looking after your baby most of the time. This means that you will be carrying your baby among other things. What happens when your rapid weight loss makes you not as strong as you used to be, or what happens if you get fainting spells from the lack of proper nutrition due to your rapid weight loss? You can see where this is going, right?
Ask yourself what is more important to you at the moment, losing weight quickly, or losing weight slowly but healthily. This is a very important question that you need to ask yourself before things get out of hand.
On the other hand, it is entirely possible that a rapid weight loss on your part is due to a health problem rather than a conscious effort on your part to lose weight. If this is the case you might not notice things until you have lost a considerable amount of weight to begin with. Your first concern should be to consult with your doctor.
However, if you are looking at rapid weight loss as a means by which to regain your lost vigor, and fit and firm body, do think twice about it, or get the proper support structure in place before you venture down this avenue.
Nobody likes to think they're boring, yet it's easy to get wrapped up talking about things that you find interesting but that other people don't find as exciting. When speaking, discretely check in with the other person or the group to make sure they're not bored and want to get away as soon as it's politely possible. Being aware of how others are responding by their interaction and body language is a really important social skill.
Here are five cues to look for that can tell you if you're boring the daylights out of someone:
1. The other person isn't responsive. No, you haven't bored them to death (yet) but they are no longer asking you questions nor giving you verbal or physical cues to continue speaking.
2. The conversation has become a monologue. What was an exchange of ideas is now just your going on and on. The other person has stopped contributing to the discussion...for a while now.
3. You ask the other person a question (like "What do you think about what I'm saying?") and they have no response other than, "That's nice." They probably stopped listening to you fifteen minutes ago.
4. No one else has spoken for a very long time. Chances are that everyone is silent because you're not. Conversations include other people and if no one else has said anything for a while, it's time for you to take a break.
5. The other person looks tired. Listening takes effort and if you're talking incessantly you'll wear her out. Really - enough is enough.
Also - don't mistake someone's paying polite attention to you for having interest in what you're saying. They're likely just "being nice" and hoping someone calls their cell phone with an "emergency" so they can excuse themselves.
If you've noticed any of the above cues when you're speaking, take a breather and give someone else the chance to talk. They may well appreciate the opportunity.
Generally, when talking to others make sure they share the same interest or, at least, make sure that they want to know more. Being able to create and contribute to a conversation that everyone in the group finds interesting is a valuable social skill. It makes people like you and want to be with you. Boring them makes them want to leave.
As much as you like share your stories, other people do too so let them have a chance to talk. And when they're talking, listen to them like you would want them to listen to you. Keep the conversation a dialogue and the discussion open so everyone can participate.
