Actress Sameera Reddy On Weight Loss Post Pregnancy, Here Is How You Can Lose Weight

Pregnancy is one of the most beautiful phases in the life of a woman. With motherhood, a woman enters into a new life, everything changes for her. But at times, this pregnancy can affect a woman mentally too. Gaining pregnancy weight is natural to every woman but actually passing through that time when you add on those extra kilos, look the way you never looked before, it gets a little difficult. The challenge comes when you have to lose your post-pregnancy weight. It takes a toll on your mental health. This recently happened with one of our Bollywood actress, Sameera Reddy.

Sameera, who is best known for her movies Race, De Dana Dan was missing from the limelight for a long time. Do you know why? Sameera got married in the year 2014 to Akshai Varde. Soon, she got pregnant and gave birth to her first child in the year 2015. She was rarely spotted all this while. Sameera, who is now pregnant with her second child, recently shared her struggle of losing post-pregnancy weight.

Sameera's Weight Loss Journey

Sameera recently took to her Instagram handle and shared a then and now picture - June 2015 to April 2019. She captioned it, "I touched 102 Kgs in May 2015, the month Hans was born and I’m not scared to admit it. It took me to the deepest darkest places in my head. My confidence shattered. And I couldn’t lose the weight for a year after because I was too scared to even step out. I disappeared because I didn’t have the strength to be judged by the world after all the years of being glam and fit on screen. But the beautiful part is that you can only hit your lowest low to know you can absolutely climb out of that hole. It’s a fight. A hard one."

It was a tough time for Sameera but she didn't give up. Her caption further read, "Took me 2 years more to lose the weight and to step out and face the world again but I wish I had the courage then. I did it naturally with no fad diets, no easy way out. Only with dedicated workout, yoga, pilates and strength training . It’s important for me to post this now because I need women to know the struggle is real . The mood swings, hormonal changes and losing your body shape can mess with your mind. It’s a superficial world and people can be hurtful if you don’t keep up . But the key is to be fearless. Only you can get out of that rut. It’s yours to change. Be brave. You can move mountains if you just will it . ❤️. Special thanks to the best workout crew who also gave me the physical & emotional strength to get fit again @yogabypramila @adishroff @ivan_ultimatefitness @nyelakapadia & Kaizen Motafram my Pilates guru! love you guys ❤️."

Sameera had some other plans when she got pregnant earlier. In an interview, she said, “I got pregnant in just a couple of months after my marriage. The game plan was to have the pregnancy and bounce back and getting in the limelight again. But I have never experienced anything like that... It was just the opposite.” Don't Miss Actress Soha Ali Khan Shares Some Useful Pregnancy Tips

"I had placenta previa, which had me on bed rest for almost four to five months after the pregnancy. I just started putting on weight and falling into some kind of place in my head because it went from shows, award functions and a glamorous lifestyle to just not being able to handle what pregnancy was doing to me,” she added.

What Is Placenta Previa?

It is a condition where the placenta is at a low point in the uterus. It can cover the cervix completely or partially. It can lead to premature contractions and other problems in delivery. This is an uncommon condition but when it happens, a woman is asked to bed rest. Sameera too was recommended bed rest at that time. This made her gain a lot of weight.
