Pregnancy

Some women love their pregnant bodies. I really wish that I could.

I'm not saying that I don't like being pregnant, or the bond I share with my daughter in the womb, because I do, I love that bit. It's the physical aspect that I so detest.

I weigh 176 pounds right now. That, in my opinion, is mind-blowing. I understand that a good portion of that ( Read more... )

I have severe body issues, too, only mine seem to come from the stupid birth control I used to prevent pregnancy.
Ever since I got on Depo Provera, ten years ago, I have gained SIXTY POUNDS!! I used to have a nice body, and it has gone to shit. I got off Depo two years ago, and I have been losing and gaining the same twenty pounds ever since.
It's weird, because I still think of myself as a "skinny person". When I look in the mirror, I expect to see a skinny face looking back at me. When I dream, I'm always about four sizes smaller. I just can not get used to being fat, but nothing seems to take the weight off.
When I run into someone I haven't seen in years, I always feel I have to apologize or draw attention to the fact that I am forty pounds heavier than I was the last time I saw them.
I don't know why I do this. I just have issues, I guess.
Anyway, I can relate.
As far as quitting smoking goes, I am going to try keeping one around and just not smoking it. I've tried everything else, maybe this will help.
I'll keep you posted. :)

Thank you! ^_^

I definitely think you should try it. You know what I mean though? You get in such an emotional state that you *need* a smoke, but if you only have that emergency cig, it's like you have to justify smoking it to yourself, and then you won't have an emergency cigarette anymore. :) Of course there are different levels of addiction and whatnot, I don't think I was very addicted to nicotine, just the hand-to-mouth aspect, but that's what worked for me and I hope it works for you :3
