does anyone else cry about their appearance? I'm 5'1 and weighed 200 please don't judge. my dad has…

YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL NO MATTER WHAT THEY SAAAAAAAAAYYYYY

thank you! lol nice reference to that song

I wasn't over weight before my pregnancy but I was underweight. I've gained 20 pounds total so far and am 20 weeks today. It's a struggle for me as I have no much to wear but you just need to tell yourself it's for a great cause. Stay active and make healthy eating choices.

exactly what @brittanyyy said hun! however I totally can relate, I felt the same way and still do.

:) to make matters worse I crave sugar more than anything else. and cheesy things

Well yes, Im firmly against body shaming but sometimes it gets to a point where it's a threat against your health and you need to take a stand for yourself and your child and build a body you're genuinely happy with.

I was a bit overweight even though I carry my weight differently being tall. my bf loves the weight and I hate it. but don't let your pops get to you, his opinion doesn't matter. you're husband is confused because no matter what you are beautiful to him and yes you are supposed to gain weight! don't fight it just be happy. and in my own opinion you are gorgeous my love.

I had lost weight before pregnancy because I wanted to be at my best when I got married and before I got pregnant neither of those happened I was consistently losing weight and then forty pounds down I got pregnant. Im in my third trimester and I've only gained 17 pounds which I've been trying pretty hard but cannot afford the healthier options except what wic gives me eating healthy isn't cheap when you're broke and live off food stamps

I'm overweight. I've never had anyone try to encourage me or help me to lose weight. The clinic I work at is a super stress invironment and all I wanna do is eat, so I'm gaining probably more wait than I should be right now. I know with pregnancy comes wait gain, but I feel mostly the same. I always say I'm fat and my husband tells me I'm not but I know he thinks it. he's called me chunky quite a few times.

thank you very much @beautyoflife he's been this way my whole life so its hard on me. I'm afraid what he'll say when I give birth. my husband treats me like a Queen and he means it! he hates seeing me cry but I have like 5 or six shirts three pairs of pants one of which I can't wash and the other two aren't comfy oh and basketball shorts for PJs so then I just feel even worse. I'm trying my best to eat cuz I have an eating disorder and its been hell during my pregnancy. the more I gain and the bigger my bump grows preventing me from fitting anything the less I want to eat.

I'm 5' and weigh in at 176 (before pregnancy) I'm also very like insecure about my weight and I just lash out with anger for some reason .

awe its gonna be OK love, trust me I feel you on the eating disorder I was almost skin and bones but just think about the baby.

am 5'4 and weigh 232lbs,am 4 months pregnant have not gained any weight,probably around my 3rd trimester I might and it's okay were giving and creating life,learn to love your body we only have 1

hunny embrace it at least you getting some booty I'm sure your so is very happy about that which is why he isn't complaining lol. In the end you'll have your bundle of joy and if you want then you can lose the weight. hint:breastfeeding helps ALOT I went from 180 to 156 now I'm 5'3 ,four months n 196 ughh but I'm gonna breastfeed and do some running and you can too.

I can totally relate to you girl! I've always been chubby. But it got to a point when I decided enough was enough and sign up to the gym I went from 205lb to 167lb. A couple months later I got pregnant and now Im back into my 200 pounds at almost 38 weeks, I've gained alot. I used to cry and sometimes still do, because no clothes fit me and even though I wear maternity clothes Im scare to not fit into my jeans again. But my husband supports me alot and he always reminds me off the reason why I've gained weight and how I can always loose this weight onces I give birth. He loves me for who I am and I need to love my body too. Because this can't affect us, being pregnant is just 40 weeks we will have plenty of time to loose weight. Enjoy your pregnancy and keep up the healthy eating.

thanks for all the support ladies!! I really appreciate the help. there's sometimes it bothers me but Somedays I'm so in love with my belly I don't notice the pounds its just getting harder to ignore the weight now lol its mostly booty lol

@stephk4611, I know exactly how you feel. My whole life growing up my mother was obsessed with weight. Even if I gained a single pound then she would grill me. Constantly nagging me because I was getting fat. I got really sick about 5 1/2 years ago with Mono and lost a lot of weight. I am 5"6' so being 145ish is my normal weight. I ended up weighing about 98lbs before I got pregnant with my first. My mom flipped on me. Apparently she will never be happy with me. Either I weigh too much or too little.

glad to know you understand where I'm coming from. it's nice to have that. my dad was and still is the same. he's gotten easier on me but still hounds me every time I eat something he thinks I shouldn't or I put too much creamer or sugar in my coffee
