*This post is for women out there struggling to GAIN weight. Losing weight is a very hard and serious struggle, but so is gaining weight. There is such thing as being TOO skinny*

I have to brag on myself for a minute.

Almost 2 years and 65lbs difference.

2 years ago I was sick, doctors couldn't find a reason and were quick to write it off as depression or common side effects of birth control.

for over a year I couldn't hold food in my stomach, I could eat 3 bites but I would just get sick. Paired with breastfeeding I was starving to death. I would black out when I picking up my 30lbs kid, and would tell people "I can't afford to burn those calories" when something was hard work.

Today I can lift 160lbs (mostly with legs), carry my kids, babywear again, be active, and EAT!

Gaining weight is HARD! Being skinny is HARD. Doctors offices accused me of being on drugs when I came to them for help. Friends told me "eat a cheeseburger".

Progress is progress whether you are gaining or losing, as long as you're working to be healthy again ❤
