Beginning a family is a wonderful experience. However, the changes that come with a baby, both physical and emotional, can cause anxiety. How can you begin to feel attractive again and rekindle that special physical closeness with your partner
Physical Wellbeing
Every new mom feels exhausted. There is little sleep and almost no “me” time any more. Other members of the family still want your attention and you can feel pulled in all directions, at the bottom of the list for any attention. This means that physical closeness with your partner declines. You just don’t feel sexy and this can put a strain on your relationship. Here are a few tips to help you build your self-esteem and feel attractive again. In fact, once you have put the following program into action, you can reward yourself (and your partner) by shopping for a fun treat such as a sexy teddy at lingeriediva.com.
Be Patient with Yourself
Inevitably, after a new baby, a little extra weight is left. You feel fat and sluggish and definitely not sexy! This extra weight will go but you must accept that it will take a little while. Make a plan for eating sensibly during this time and the excess fat will go all the quicker. When tired after the night feeds, it is tempting to grab a high sugar snack just to boost your energy. Try to eat a banana or some nuts, or other wholesome and filling snacks. You do not need extra sugar, and high calorie snacks will just make you feel sluggish and even less attractive than before. Of course, the occasional treat is not going to do you any harm, but try to restrict these in both size and frequency.
Exercise
Eating frequent and sensible meals will reduce your weight steadily and permanently. It will also make your skin glow and your hair shine. Physical exercise not only tones your body, it also raises your sense of wellbeing. A good walk, cycle or swim can give you a mental break from your family duties and help you feel much better about yourself. Feeling fitter and enjoying fresh air will raise your mood. You can praise yourself for trying hard to get back to the pre-baby, sexy you, and your partner will appreciate your efforts. He knows how hard you are working with the new baby; he too will probably have struggled to adapt to the changes and will be pleased to see that you are the same beautiful girl!
Pampering
The baby weight is going; you are eating sensibly, exercising often and have a healthy glow. The next stage is the beauty parlor. Have your hair and nails done and you are ready for that special evening, though it may have to be at home as babysitters can be hard to find. This is where Lingerie Diva comes in. Shop for sexy teddies from lingeriediva.com and your transformation from exhausted mom to an attractive and confident partner will be complete. Good luck!
