*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.

my first picture was taken November 7th, 2017.

My second picture was taken May 22, 2019

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 ❤

Literally up until I had my kids I was 110-115 from my teen years up until I was around 21 yrs of age, I was underweight for being 5’7. I too heard a lot of hurtful comments like “do you even eat”, “your so lucky to be skinny”, “you look anorexic ”, “your skin & bones”... it was to the point where I didn’t even wanna wear tight or short sleeve clothing because I would get teased. For some reason Id get full off of a few bites here & there so I couldn’t gain the weight that easily. It was embarrassing! I know weigh 163lbs with mommy strips & have grown to love my body! NOBODY can’t take that away from me 😌.

How much have you ladies gained so far ?? I've gained 64lbs 😳 my husband makes me feel shitty when I indulge by reminding me how hard it's gonna be to lose the weight once baby comes. I don't know if it hurts my feelings or pisses me off but my dr doesn't seem to be concerned about all this weight I've gained I started at 106lb so I was small to begin with. Talk about stressful

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 have any diseases, no high cholesterol, no high blood pressure, i don't have a bad heart, lungs, or anything else. So I'm healthy I'm just over weight. So then we argued about him having an issue with my weight.. Am i wrong in this? Because it really hurt my feelings.. I've tried sooo many different things to lose weight but having hypothyroidism makes you gain/hard to lose. And my medications for depression and anxiety cause you to gain also.. So it's very hard to lose weight.. But i didn't even know he had an issue with my weight until last night..
