I was in very good shape when I got pregnant with my 2nd. A difficult pregnancy and bedrest kept me from being able to work out. The baby came and I was ready to start at least walking everyday again. She had the WORST colic and reflux so I was too tired to even care what my body looked like. In one short year I had gained weight and lost most of my muscle definition. (It can go away pretty quickly!!) Her colic went away and all was good....I was ready to get back into shape! The weight was really not coming off so I went to the Dr. He put me on phentermine (stimulant) to help me lose weight. I lost 50 pounds in about 3 and half months. So, yes, it's possible. There is a downside. The phentermine made me VERY irritable!! I'm normally very calm and patient but found myself feeling so angry over the smallest things! I also have enough self control to not give in to my emotions and blow up over silly things (usually). So, if she was on stimulants, steroids or other muscle building supplements AND possibly dealing with PPD AND in an unhappy marriage........Well, I would say she was a ticking time bomb. This, of course, is MOO.
