Dee Dee Mahmood an exercise physiologist devotes her life in helping obese women. Her life journey, transformation from weighing 80kg to a 47kg inspires many. An article in 'Vanilla' mag caught my attention.... It is a struggle for me. It is more than having the determination. I am a 1st time mommie. Shopping becomes the most dreadful thing. How do i fit into any clothes?? Do i buy maternity clothing or plus size ones? I look 3 or 5 months pregnant (and weighs 75kg) but in actual fact i'm not pregnant. Is this normal? To have this pregnant tummy? Is this due to my C-sect birth?...or is it my super tight pants i wore during my pregnancy? It has been 10 months.Whatever the reason maybe it is so stressful...I really need help. What should i do? The answer to my own question is simple. Simple to others and including myself to say. JUST EXERCISE!!!

Physically active people feel less anxious and depressed. One theory why? Described in a 2006 report in the journal " Obesity ," holds that aerobic exercise can increase your levels of norepinephrine , a chemical that helps the brain deal with stress more efficiently. Ideally, we should spend 30 minutes exercising five times a week. Every bit of activity helps. Amp up an activity's appeal by finding a partner -- or pair it with music or an audiobook.

What is colic? I experienced it with my baby. Takut juga mula-mula. Tapi alhamdullilah i manage to overcome it. Experts say: About 20 per cent of all babies develop colic , a catch-all phrase for uncontrollable crying in an otherwise healthy baby. A baby with colic cries or fusses for more than three hours a day, for more than three days in one week. It occurs with equal frequency among first- and later-born children, and in boys and girls. You will hear lots of theories and advice on dealing with a colicky baby. By the time most parents have tried everything, the baby outgrows the colic anyway! However, information on some of the reasons for colic, if they apply to your baby, may help you decide what to do. Here are some possible causes: • Your baby's central nervous system may be immature and unsettled, and she is not yet ready for the unpredictable stimulation of the world. This baby may cry less if she is swaddled or carried in a sling, rocked, or kept in motion in a swing. Sh...

Expert Answers Build a support network — your pediatrician, your spouse, your mother, other parents — anyone you can turn to when the crying gets too overwhelming. Sometimes just talking to someone about how stressed you feel can make all the difference. Other times, you may need to get away from your baby for a short break; find a trusted caretaker who can pitch in when you need to relax. Sometimes just a 20-minute drive or walk around the block is all it takes to wind down. If you feel like you just can't take it any more and you may hurt your baby, call your pediatrician, a friend, or a hotline for help. No matter how stressed you feel, know that you're still a good parent. And it's easy to feel rejected by your own child when he doesn't respond to your efforts to calm him down. Don't take it personally. All parents have trouble comforting their children on occasion. As long as your baby is growing well and your pediatrician says he's healthy, take comfort...

I s it safe to drink herbal teas while I'm pregnant? Many pregnant women carefully avoid caffeine, alcohol, nicotine, and unnecessary medications but think nothing of drinking cup after cup of herbal tea. If this sounds like you, take heed: Herbal teas can be harmful, especially if you drink too much of them. Most of the ingredients in herbal teas are safe, but many are not. Herbs are drugs and thus can be as potent as some medications. What's more, only a few of the herbs used for teas have been studied in pregnant women. How can I tell which herbal teas are safe to drink during pregnancy? Although no U.S. regulations specifically address herbal teas, most of the herbs the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) considers safe for food use are presumed safe for teas as well. For example, teas made from ginger, lime blossom, peppermint, roasted barley, rose hips, and thyme are probably safe to drink occasionally in small amounts while you're pregnant or nursing. However, drinkin...
