Kids have a knack for making even the
simplest tasks approximately six billion times harder — just ask any parent
who’s ever taken a toddler to the grocery store. So it’s no surprise that
losing weight, which is challenging enough under the best circumstances, can
feel downright impossible once kids enter the picture.
If your newborn didn’t get the memo
about sleeping through the night, or your toddler has a tendency to rise and
shine at 4 a.m., it can be hard to find the time or energy to do much of anything, let alone work out or
cook a healthy meal from scratch. Add to that the pressure to spend every
single solitary second bonding with your little ones, and it’s no wonder many
parents are tempted to put their weight-loss goals on the back burner for a while
— like, say, until their kids go off to college.
