Some tmi pics; feeling so awful about myself...
I feel abSolutly terrible about my body while pregnant. I'm currently 35 weeks, and I feel the worst I ever have about my body. And as I hit further and further along, it's getting worse and worse. I love my baby bump and all... but my sisters made me feel so shitty about myself too. I was talking about how I gained about 35 pounds but don't know where the weight is all going besides my butt, legs, belly and boobs because those are the only things I see getting bigger. Then they all started pointing out all my stretch marks and saying my thighs are fat now, my face is getting fat, etc. and how they all never want kids because they would die if they got a single stretch mark, and made me feel ashamed or dosgusting for having them. I've struggled with eating disorders all my life, I was anorexic and would go days without eating, being a size xxs/xs up until the past 2-3 years I've finally gotten better and started eating and gaining healthy weight. Pre pregnancy I was 105-110 pounds and am now 140-145 pounds. Now I can't even look in the mirror without wanting to cry, I feel huge. And looking at my stretch marks makes me feel so shitty. I rub my skin and feel like a scaley alligator, my legs aren't even smooth anymore. My legs and back are awful... And my boobs. My stomach is starting too:/ I even am getting them on my calves... And My calves are still tiny and always have been. I went stretch mark free until about 32 weeks, they came or of nowhere, rapidly! Is this normal? I don't feel beautiful at all anymore. I've also found myself slowly not allowing myself to eat as much either now and I know I have to for this baby, it's like the illness is creeping back into me. Does anytime else have stretch mark picture like this? It would make me feel better to not feel so alone :/ feel free to share pictures! Am I wrong for feeling this way? These are me.
