Feeling down
Hi girls !
This is my first post on here and looking for some moral support !
I am 8 weeks pregnant , 5 foot 8 and 268 pounds. I am currently a U.K. Size 18/20.
I am struggled with my weight for yours . Going from 336 pounds to 168 pounds between the ages of 14 to 16 and since that weight loss it has creeped up and up. First through a reoccurring eating disorder, then through lack of support, then later depression
After this at the age just turned 18 I went out into the world on my own again and got help for my problems, then weighing 231 pounds. I was lucky to very quickly find the love of my life and to move in and be starting a life together.
As you can guess, Comfort set in and on went the weight, coupled with 3 bereavements my weight went up quick and just when I planned for the third time this year to get back on the slimming world wagon BOOM im pregnant !
We are over the moon to a whole other level but my weight is scaring me. I know my health was good before and later checks have confirmed this but my fear is very selfishly, looking more fat.
Obviously my child is my biggest concern but my self-confidence is low anyway. I feel like a big blob and being a loner in many ways (no one in my age range has the same priorities as me) it makes it harder. Everyone has been out drinking, something I hate to do now and haven't done for over a year now. It is very lonely as living in a small county it is what most of my age do! (However sad that is ! )
Just looking to make some new friends and talk about body issues ! I am happy in the most and over the moon to at the age of 19 be having my little bouncing baby. I have always wanted a young family and am lucky to have found my partner so early in my life.
I hope to get to know some of you life and apologise if this is ranty! Just needed to let out some feelings :)
