E.S.
I distract myself. I do not weigh myself or stand in the mirror for critical evaluations. I approach exercise as a "feel good" coping mechanism. Too many people are focused on results. If you feel good, you start to look good. Acknowledge your accomplishments: You're a great mom, wife, (whatever else you're great at!), have a great kid. Don't focus on the weight and wonderfully it won't become an issue.
