Take the time for yourself, whether it's sitting down to eat, enjoying a bubble bath, getting a pedicure, etc. As Mommies we feel extremely guilty when we give ourselves some TLC, instead everyone else in the family always gets it. If you don't establish time for yourself now, the day will come, be it next month or in 10 years, when you have nothing left to give. Don't cheat yourself. You'll be a better Mom, wife and friend if you make yourself a priority. With a 2-year old and baby #2 due anyday, I struggle with this constantly but I know I'm worth it and deserve it.

try wearing the dress with knit tights or leggings that are a bright color. those are the ones that make my (not small) legs look... well, fuller than i would like, so maybe it would give your legs a look of more substance. plus, they are super cute. :) i'm sorry that you are struggling with this. i have no idea what it is like, since i've always struggled on the other end of the spectrum, but hang in there and remember how little of your worth is based on how much meat is on your bones. {{hugs}}

I was different, I was back to my pre-baby weight within 2 weeks of giving birth, and exclusively breastfed Emily until she was 5 and a half months. I haven't gained or dropped any weight at all, but I notice I drink a lot more fluids. I do have a lot of loose skin though which is tough to get rid of.

I wouldn't worry, if you feel ok and Everly is healthy too you are fine. Maybe ask your GP about a type of diet to put on a little weight if you want to do that? My cousin had the same issue, I dont know what she did (I think she just ate extra) but she put on a little weight and now looks really curvy.

I understand. I am overweight, and some days I hate myself for getting so fat, other days I'm ok with it. I have been worried about it lately, so I finally drug myself in for a physical exam, the first time in 9 years. The doctor never said a word about my weight. When I brought it up with the Nurse Practitioner, she said if my blood sugar and blood pressure are ok, they are not as worried about the weight. That was the first time I have ever been to a doctor who did not tell me to lose weight.

I fear my granddaughter is going to have something similar to your problem. We've been stuffing calories into her since she was born. She's both tall for her age and underweight even if her height were average. Believe me, she didn't inherit a tall skinny body from either side of her family.

Maybe you could put yourself on Everly's schedule? Every time she eats, you have at least a snack of some sort? I'm thinking she should be content when she's full, allowing you enough time to do that.

This is happening to me! I went down to 90 pounds!! 90!!! So I am now on a high protein diet. I drink a protein shake in the morning with a hot pocket, have some sort of fruity shake mid morning. Cereal, A lunch that inludes a sandwich, soup and a power bar, snack on nuts, pistachios in the afternoon, have a hearty dinner that usually includes a good meat source (hate meat!!) but its pork chops, steak or fish. It sucks having to eat so much, and with the baby, I don't think about myself as much as one would think. Anyway, I understand where you are at. I'm still battling it. But get on a diet plan. My doctor told me this when she prescribed me Reglan for milk production, to make sure you have protein in every meal and it should help me gain back some wait. Reading this, I felt like I could have written this. And Everly is six months right? Jaydon is 10, it does wear down the body after awhile . Hang in there!
