*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 ❤

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...

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 😌.
