Doctors

Sometimes, I seriously hate doctors!

BMI is crap.

I am 5’2” tall and my pre-pregnancy weight was 155 lbs.

I am currently 23 weeks pregnant and I weigh 160 lbs.

My whole life I have been very muscular, but short. And according to BMI, I am overweight. According to BMI, I will also be classified as OBESE within the next 5 pounds that I gain with this pregnancy. I can’t stop worrying about what I eat and the fact that I’ll just keep gaining weight- my doctor just sees me as this overweight or even obese woman. :( This classification has got to stop. I look back at the first picture and I see nothing wrong with myself... But at the time all I could see are flaws. As if body dysmorphia wasn’t bad enough, I now hate going to the doctor.

Has anyone had similar experiences? I’m really at a loss here and self confidence keeps declining...
