  • 20+ wks now. Due May 7th/2018. 5'6" Was 135lbs. Miscarried and before my body could adjust experienced an injury, didn't have a chance to lose the weight so started at 165, and am now 170 - 180, and getting back to my regular routines now (Sciatica be prepared, you will not stop me!). Decided I'd better get myself back in…
  • Over 40 here, and wishing there were more realism and actual medical science being shown among those we are trusting with the privilege and responsibilities of being trusted in the process of providing care, as well as those who are supposed to be community in respecting the actual medical knowledge nd other needs being…
  • I'm wondering if re-wording your question back to you would help you to see things from a different perspective... Your S.O. cares deeply enough about you, supporting you, supporting your choices, that he asks you if you can fit in a snack rather than just buying you something or "not" buying you anything when he has…

  • I suffer from CPTSD, not anxiety exactly, not depression exactly... I don't know about you, but weight gain for me, was a way to get an instant hug when I needed one without having to try to rely on those who couldn't be bothered to see my boundaries or requests as "not about them". Asking for a physical display of support…
  • It's always disappointing to let ourselves get overly excited, then miss out on what it was that we were being excited about to begin with. :( I think its worth noting that you are choosing to forgive yourself and choosing to get back to taking care of yourself and your body's needs without a one month (or longer)…
  • Hi. I wasn't sure what to make of your post until I really asked myself where I'm at, then what you said made some sense to me. You don't sound frustrated or confused, you sound ... ashamed and afraid. I was like you post baby. 120lbs soaking wet, not a spec of fat to be found; I could go braless and didn't get a rash from…
