Eating better--specifically eliminating processed sugars out of your calorie intake during the day--can and will change your mood. If I eat processed sugars--I feel very sluggish--no energy, etc. which only promotes depression. And YES there is such a thing as PPD--that many women get-primarily because their hormones have done a "crazy Ivan" on them-but it soon dissipates, as they level out to normal. In the meantime there's nothing like a good cardio workout, (if you're able to do that now, and or your doctor has told you that it's O.K to start exercising again???) to send those Happy Endorphins running through-out your brain. Being a new mom--it's very important that Mom's take a little time out of each day just for themselves.
Good Luck with the new baby--and start today with a weight loss and exercise program that gets you back on your happy feet.
