Trying not to be so self conscious....

I worked really hard to lose 20 pounds before TTC..... I was 130 when I found out I was expecting again and really wanted to get down to 120 (which was my pre pregnancy weight before my last pregnancy which ended due to it being an ectopic)

I am now (so gratefully) 24 weeks but I'm already at 165 pounds. I'm usually quite petite

Now I don't usually care, everything is going well, I'm healthy, and with both my other pregnancies I gained a lot and then lost it right after. But for some reason, this time around, I'm feeling really sad about how I look.

I wanted to have that pregnancy glow, but the last 2 weeks I've ballooned everywhere else besides my belly. We just got back from vacation and I'm looking through our photos and I'm in shock that I hate all of them :(

My love handles have expanded and I look so wide, my arms and back have gained, and I don't even want to get started on my butt and thighs.

I guess this is more a rant than anything.... just need some positive words of encouragement (please don't be mean, or negative) we all have our insecurities and need to reach out for support sometimes.
