Like many women across the country, Cindy had trouble kicking those last few pounds of baby weight to the curve after she delivered her little bundle of joy into the world.
“For me, this was beyond frustrating, because I never really had any issues with my weight before,” Cindy said.
However, it’s important to keep in mind that it's absolutely normal to gain weight during your pregnancy and dropping the baby weight is not always easy, but it definitely isn't impossible either.
“I have always been physically active, but due to the baby weight, I felt like I was being weighed down literally.”
The good news is that many women can relate and luckily, this is not an uncommon issue. We will give you the tools you need to love your body again; but first, we want to share some alarming body image statistics with you so that you can see how much body image affects your self-esteem.
We're worried about more than just baby weight
Many men and women throughout the United States are afraid of being fat. In fact, 80% of teen girls who are 10 years-old are afraid of being overweight and 80% of 10-year-old girls have already dieted before they reach their teenage years, according to the soon-to-be nonprofit organization, Heart of Leadership.
Also according to the website, a staggering 9 million teenagers in America who are below the age of 15, are obese—and consequently, obese boys and girls have significantly lower self-esteem than their non-obese counterparts.
Cindy was tired of feeling this way because she desperately wanted to lose the baby weight; however, she was weary of the diets and gimmicks out there flooding the market. Needless to say, Cindy was elated when she came across bistroMD.

“When I saw that bistroMD served actual, real food, I jumped at the opportunity.”
