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.
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...

Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Starting TWW. Anyone else?
I had a stillborn daughter at 38 weeks this passed Nov. This is my second month ttc. (Last month we only tried for like two weeks though). My last and only pregnancy, I got pregnant the first month of ttc so I hope it's quick this time again.
remember you are rebuilding muscle you haven't used in months! muscle is leaner but significantly heavier than fat! you will gain before you lose but results are coming! don't give up!
