Challenges in the postnatal journey:
Challenges during weight loss journey:
Changing Habits: Breaking old habits and adopting new, healthier behaviors can be difficult. Whether it’s overcoming cravings or establishing a consistent exercise routine, changing deeply ingrained habits requires time, effort, and commitment.
Managing Cravings and Temptations especially for those foods high in sugar, fat, and salt, can slow down your weight loss rate. Managing cravings and learning the art of eating right at the right time is what our program is all about!
Emotional Eating: Many people turn to food for comfort or to cope with stress, anxiety, or other emotions. We teach you to recognize and address emotional eating patterns which is so important for long-term sustainable weight management.
Plateaus and Slow Progress: Weight loss progress is rarely linear, and you may have experienced periods of plateau or slow progress despite your best efforts. It can be frustrating & demotivating, which is the real challenge and our team will certainly hand hold you ; to stay committed as success is sure to follow!
Social Pressures and Environments: Food is the focus in most of our social gatherings, celebrations, and outings; often making it challenging to stick to a healthy eating plan. With our guidance you will surely learn to develop socially correct behaviors and win over peer pressure to stay committed on the road to weight loss journey.
Time Constraints: It is surely intimidating-balancing work, family responsibilities, and other commitments! With our practical tips you will soon learn to prioritize healthy eating, make time for meal planning, grocery shopping, and include regular physical activity to help boost your metabolism.
Lack of Support: A strong support system can greatly influence weight loss success. Most of us lack support from family, friends, or healthcare professionals but please don’t lose confidence as we have a team who will stand by you , understand your needs and encourage active weight loss for better fitness goals .
Physical Limitations and Health Conditions: Certain health conditions or physical limitations may have affected your ability to engage in certain types of exercise or follow specific dietary recommendations. At health watch clinic we work closely with other healthcare professionals and develop a safe and effective weight loss plan tailormade to cater your individual needs.
Negative Self-Talk and Body Image Concerns: It is important that we learn to overcome negative self-talk and poor body image; rather with our regular counselling sessions we help cultivate self-compassion, practice positive self-talk, and focus on non-scale victories; so essential to motivate mental wellness.
Tips on stress management techniques, reducing screen time and improving sleep hygiene are important tools in this health journey.
Maintaining Long-Term Success: Many of us do manage to lose weight but then struggle all along to maintain the weight we attain! Most weight watchers enter the vicious sad circus of losing-gaining weight eventually amassing more fat mass and lesser muscle with bone thinning! It’s more important to learn healthy habits, manage stress, and adapt to life’s changes so you maintain weight loss results and prevent weight regain.
Physical Recovery: The process of childbirth takes a toll on the body, and new mothers may experience physical discomfort, pain, and fatigue as they recover. Whether a vaginal birth or a C-section, healing takes time.
Breastfeeding Challenges: Breastfeeding is a natural, beneficial way to nourish your baby, but some new moms may experience difficulties with latching, nipple pain or soreness, engorgement, low milk supply, or mastitis(inflammation).
Sleep Deprivation: Newborns have irregular sleep patterns and frequent feeding needs, which disrupts a new mother’s sleep leading to exhaustion and fatigue.
Adjustment to Parenting Roles: Being a parent is a big change. Moms might feel unsure, doubt themselves, or feel overwhelmed as they figure out how to take care of a new baby while doing household chores & taking care of themselves.
Social Isolation: Taking care of a new baby, recovering after childbirth, & inadequate sleep can make some moms feel lonely or make them feel isolated.
Body Image Concerns: Pregnancy & baby’s birth can change how a woman’s body looks. Some new moms may feel unhappy about their bodies after giving birth. .
Balancing Self-Care: New moms need to take care of themselves while taking care of the baby which can be difficult & challenging causing fatigue.
