Krysti Blumsom I have your book the pram diet which I love! I have a 10 week old baby and these recipes and food plan are so easy to follow. I made the banana cupcakes just last night for my husband and he devoured them! The cookbook is great, cant wait to be able to buy it in store for a quick reference while in the kitchen! Yummmmo! 2012

"Hi Rebecca, Just wanted to say a quick thank you for writing such a inspirational book, I am only half way through and try and find 5 minutes a day between looking after a newborn and my 6yr old son to read your book and bring me back to reality. I have taken your tips on stress and have copied and printed them and they stick proudly ...to my fridge for when time feels a little stressful! Also have made a wee reminder which sticks in my wardrobe with positive "I am..."and " Whats important to me in my life right now..." messages to look at every morning to remind me how lucky I am. I am now a daily pram walker and it gives me peace and refreshes my mind. Thank you so much for your help you have changed my post baby life, without The Pram Diet I know I would be so miserable." 2012

I'm really loving your book Rebecca. I love the way you write and how personal you have made it. The dedication you made to your daughter at the beginning made me quite teary.I feel like sitting down and reading it all in one hit, but I'm just reading a few pages each night and really taking it in. I'm reading about all your little ideas on pampering yourself. Your ideas are simple, beautiful and good for the soul. I'm going to recommend your book to my friends. 2012

And if it weren't for Bek's book the Pram Diet, I don't think I would be where I am now. Reading it felt like I was ready my story and it really has helped me over time to live healthier for the better of me, my baby and my family.
Thanks Bek xx

Women's Health Queensland Wide. We have purchased your book The Pram Diet and made it available to women through our free lending library. We thought it an important resource to have as part of our work in health and well-being for new mothers.

Personal shout out to the amazing Author Rebecca Mugridge who wrote a book that is not just about weight loss but about reality and what she truly faced before finding her gorgeous self again. Thank you Bec for your inspiration. I have loved your book and think you are wonderful.

Such an inspiration and motivational book! CCM: Cherub Childminding Services Family Day Care Scheme

The author Rebecca Mugridge nearly jumps off the book cover with her charismatic personality. This book not only speaks to new mothers, but all women regardless of their circumstances. If I was a little girl, I would want to be her daughter Lily.
Every time I see young healthy-looking mothers pushing a pram, I instantly think that they must have read the Pram Diet.
This would be a great gift for both the new and old mother.
I highly recommend this beautiful and refreshing book.
Dawn Alice author of Life Love Tarot

The Pram Diet written by Rebecca Mugridge is a fantastic book to read. It is uplifting and inspirational. Written by someone who actually cares about how her readers feel. The recipes are tasty and healthy and the gardening tips show a wealth of garden wisdom. Well done Rebecca, a great book.

Dear Rebecca Mugridge.
Loved the book and TV coverage of The Pram Diet. I have always insisted that dieting without exercise is useless. Unfortunately since retiring, we no longer have a pram and are too tired to have a baby. Heck!

Introduction


The breathtaking bond that consumes a woman as she holds her newborn baby is
simply beautiful. Feelings of joy, hope and awe race through her body, igniting
adrenaline-fuelled surges of emotion that seem to create a timeless bubble of bliss.
For me, the first two precious months of motherhood became a blur of the purest and
deepest happiness I have ever known. Holding my daughter asleep in my arms, I felt
complete peace. My partner Damien and I were happier than we had ever been.

But the realisation that this tiny person depends on you, and will learn from you the
values and life skills needed to successfully guide them to adulthood, brings with it a
great feeling of responsibility.

As a new mother, I became painfully aware that my lifestyle was not an ideal model
for a healthy, active and happy life.

By the time Lily was a couple of months old, stress, exhaustion and fatigue had
combined with diminishing self esteem and feelings of unattractiveness and
sluggishness to leave me feeling depressed. There was an overall sense of heaviness I
could not seem to lift. Slowly but surely, this downward spiral began to affect my
ability to truly enjoy the blessings of my new child.

One day, utterly sick of feeling frustrated, angry and depressed, I put Lily in the pram,
packed it up with spare bottles, blankets, nappies, dummies, teddies, water, sunscreen,
a blanket, toys – even a first aid kit – and we went for our first big walk together. This
walk wasn’t a means to an end or a method of transportation – it was just a walk for
walking’s sake. It wasn’t a marathon, but it was a big walk for us. I couldn’t believe
how amazing it felt, walking in that glorious fresh air, looking at the graceful, mighty
trees, gazing at the endless horizon, hearing the wondrous sounds of nature all around
us, smelling the wild, fresh scents, feeling the sun on my skin and the breeze in my
hair. I could literally feel layers of stress and ill feelings peeling off me.

I had found a way to change my life for the better. A way to lift the dark feelings that
had been draped around me and raise myself up to a new place where I was vibrant,

healthy and, best of all, felt like a beautiful woman who was truly enjoying being a
mother to my precious little daughter. I felt proud to be me and knew with confidence
that I could and would, after all, be the great role model I wanted to be for my
daughter. Above all, I felt a real sense of self achievement, knowing that the greatest
gift we can pass on to our children is the ability to live a healthy and happy lifestyle.
The Pram Diet tells the story of how I achieved this positive transformation and how
every mum, everywhere, can too.
