I’ve never been so depressed in my life.. I didn’t know I’d gain so much weight. I didn’t know it…

I have BDD so I’m really familiar with this struggle too. You can lose the weight after. I PROMISE. If I can! Anyone can. Also. Hi neighbor 😉 I’m in Bellingham.

Girl don’t be so hard on yourself. You can definitely bounce back. And if you’re determined to then you will be just fine! I got fat my last pregnancy and worked my ass off in the gym. Maybe go on some walks. Even if they’re slow. Anything to get the blood pumping. Don’t be so hard on yourself. Try to enjoy the last couple weeks!

@squishymommy1, thank you.. I’m hoping being this uncomfortable & depressed will bring motivation to do everything I can to lose it after baby. God knows I can’t live like this & be healthy or happy. Ps... I love bham soooo much!!

@kjuckniess10, thank you ❤️ I’m trying

@lizsouthwick, drinks on me when your not pregnant anymore!

Okay..i was that way too. I gave birth 2 weeks ago and I was at 170. Right now I'm at 155. Keep on breast feeding and pumping. Trust me, the weight will fall off..u will be so busy with the baby, you don't have time to eat..

@squishymommy1, 😘👌🏼

@geminiheartbreaker, good job! I’m hoping you’re right!!

Most deep honest post ive read in a while

@virgosweetness, it’s so hard. Everyone expects you to just be happy you’re having a baby.. even at my baby shower, I don’t want pics. My friends are like ohhh you cannot not take pregnancy pics, well, I feel hideous & don’t want to see it. I had to stop working early because I feel like I’m a burden on my coworkers, my body aches & I can only take so many oh you’ve gotten big comments without bawling. Everything easy is hard. Anyway... I need prayers please. I honestly didn’t think this could happen. I will never be the same. When I’m small again, I will remember this & not judge myself. Or anyone else!

I completely understand, I feel this way after baby I hate looking at myself even tho I’ve lost 40lbs it’s so hard to make myself eat but I know I have to for babygirl since I breastfeed

@mommy2babygirl, 40 pounds lost & your little one is a month.. that’s inspirational. I will need to lose about 60-65 pounds... hopefully as quickly as you

@lizsouthwick, she’s about to be 2months July 3rd! But I lost 30 within the first 3 weeks

If it makes u feel any better, i start at 120 will all 3 kids, get to 180 pregnant and then have always dropped back to 120.

It's hard to come to terms with all of your body's changes throughout pregnancy. To help with the current blues/depression, get some light exercise each day and make it a point to focus on the healthy things you eat. If you can get some clothes that can grow with you (I opt for long skirts and basic tees - I started wearing them at 12 weeks and will continue until birth), you'll look better and feel better.

It always makes me more self conscious and down when I can't find anything to wear. It just draws all the attention to how big I'm getting, so having some go to outfits that I feel comfortable in helps tremendously.

And like others have said, you'll have a lot more control over your body once the baby's out, and you can get back to being yourself. Good luck.

@virgosweetness, it does! :)

@geminiheartbreaker I'm exactly the same weight wise! I keep going back and forth between 150 and 155 😬

@lizsouthwick keep in mind that you will still have to "act pregnant" for the first 6 weeks after birth. Even then you might not feel up for crazy exercising. I read somewhere too that putting your body under too much pressure might mess with your milk supply if you're breastfeeding! So don't stress and take it slow! 😙

@erikak, trying not to stress, I’ve heard the same 😬😬 I’m praying though, a lot of prayers!!
