I've gained 24lbs this pregnancy so far and the weight is really starting to get to me. I know it's normal and healthy for baby but with struggling with eating disorders the majority of my life and finally hitting my goal weight of 99 lbs before I got pregnant- it's really getting me down. I don't even want my boyfriend touching me anymore..
@beakymcspence I do see a councillor, weekly, and he helps me through it a lot, :)
I think the weight gain issue is huge for a lot of us, but you know what? You will be surprised at how fast you can lose that weight. Don't let it get you down. You are beautiful inside and out, especially on the out when growing a baby
This may be something you want to speak with a councillor about, that can help you navigate through these feelings. Depending on your height 99 pounds may not have been a healthy goal weight in itself. I struggled with being underweight till my early twenties, and so of course gaining weight during pregnancy was an adjustment for sure. After having kids I’m probably the healthiest weight I’ve ever been at 127! Good luck🤞🏻
Its definitely understandable that you hate the weight gain, it took me till my 3rd baby to be okay with the gaining! But Just remember that after baby you can work on it again.
