For many moms, the post-partum experience extends well beyond the infant and toddler years. It is an emotionally challenging time when a woman may have overwhelming feelings of doubt, worry and even depression. During this time, a mother is at her most vulnerable, especially in regard to her body image. With these doubts, self-confidence can greatly suffer and the resulting mindset can affect many areas in her life. Fortunately for mothers everywhere, author Sherri Dodd has written a concise, witty, and simple-to-follow book with guidelines for gaining the much-needed energy for raising a child which includes a fitness program for reconditioning your body after pregnancy. Organized into three parts-Motivation, Nutrition, and Exercise-forming a solid program, Mom Looks Great is as enjoyable to read as its advice is to follow, and with helpful appendices covering everything from caloric expenditures from various activities to urinary incontinence, it is much more than just a diet and exercise book. It is the only book that moms will need to shake the blues and bring out their very best! First time moms and experienced mothers alike will also love the collection of useful tips, up-to-date facts, and timeless tricks that will keep their mind and body focused on achieving results, while still being able to balance other commitments during the most comprehensive time of their lives. 'In her book, Mom Looks Great, Sherri Dodd uses her knowledge of exercise and nutrition, combined with her personal experience as a mother, to guide women struggling with the persistent physical changes in their bodies after delivering a baby.' -Martin S. Silverman, M.D., FA.C.O.G. '...a unique and excellent book...' - Joanie Greggains, Fitness Expert and co-author of The Fat Flush Fitness Plan
