So when I was 14 years old I was diagnosed with anorexia nervosa. High school was a struggle. I constantly battled with my thoughts, my weight ranging from 70lbs to 150lbs. When I graduated high school and went to college, I started to take my condition more serious and began the long road to recovery. I managed to get to and maintain a healthy 125 lbs for over a year. Two years after that I was married and pregnant. Pregnancy took its toll on me both mentally and physically, but I maintained my healthy lifestyle for the sake of my precious baby. Now I'm nearly 8 weeks postpartum and although I'm constantly being told that I look great considering I just had a baby, I'm so unhappy with my body. I've been working out and eating better but still I see no results and instead of my weightoing down, I'm actually gaining. I'm so tempted to just give up and go back to my old unhealthy habits. The only thing stopping me from doing just that is the fact that in doing so, I'd also be ruining my breastfeeding relationship with my son. I'm so frustrated, I never thought it would be this hard to get my pre-baby body back.
Write down all the reasons you need to be healthy and place it on your wall as a constant reminder that you are strong and perfect the way you are. Each time a negative thought comes in your mind, play with your baby or read books to the baby. Also develop some affirmations. For example : "I am healthy and happy." 😀
Yes, @vamommy89 the rational, logical part of me knows that. But the anorexia in me says it's because I'm just getting fat. it's a constant battle.
Ok I'm 15 And Pregnant And I Don't Know What To Do. I'm Just A Freshman In High School.
Sad panda
Blah. I'm really sad about it, but we are moving to Washington state before the end of the year ???. My family lives there, and I went to part of high school there and we lived there for a couple years when our oldest was a baby. So it's not ALL bad. But...I'm still sad to leave my neighbors ????
Ok so not using actual numbers.. But everyone knows I'm over weight since having my girls. It's no secret. BUT i was talking with my hubby last night and idk how we got to this but he said something like (not using actual numbers) no one should weigh 800lbs, they should take care of themselves. And i said so what if someone weighs 800lbs? He said no one should weigh that, they should be healthier. I said well i almost weigh 800! I'm in the 790s. And I'm healthy. I may be overweight but i don't h...
So it's hard for me because my 16 year old past the test when she was in third grade and my niece passed it last year and now all my daughter's friends will be going to the third grade and she will be repeating and I don't want to send her back to the same school to be bullied because she has to repeat a grade and so I'm looking into other schools but see the thing is you teach her something she gets it then you go back to it and she like I don't know it so frustrating and she likes to wonder of...
