Challenges of losing weight post partum

After a year and a half losing 50 pounds on CICO 1200 calorie diet, I became pregnant with my 2nd. I am 3 mo post partum now, and have balanced out having "only" gained 15 pounds (I actually gained about 30 but most of that is baby/uterus/blood and dropped quickly after birth).

I tried to get back on CICO with a 1450 calorie goal (going lower affected my breast milk supply) at approx 6 weeks pp and did wonderfully for 2 weeks until all hell broke loose. I'm exceedingly tired and have lost literally all motivation.

Ive lost so much motivation that it wouldn't surprise me if I gained at this point. I try just logging things in and I even can barely do that reliably. I try taking long walks but I just wanna sleep.

I know it's "only" 15 pounds but I feel so unattractive and tired. I have no clothes that fit. I gotta get my butt going on this weight loss - I just feel so much better when I eat healthy. But my body is so tired I just want cookies now and Fark it all I don't care.

There was some PPD going on which I think cleared up but I wonder if that has something to do with it?

I'm just SO unmotivated. Any help here?
