Annoyed.

I am 26 weeks and I am so annoyed with the “failure expectations” people have of plus size women.

I have always been a bigger girl, but was athletic in my younger days. I am bow 350lbs and almost 6 foot tall. I don’t tip toe around the fact that I am plus size. But I bust my ass to make sure it can’t be held against me. I exercise regularly, I work a full time job as a fully functioning RN for 12-13 hours straight, and I still maintain my part of household chores.

But where I get annoyed is with people expecting me to fail. I passed my first glucose test with flying colors, and I passed the one I did this week. When they call to give me my results it is almost like they are disappointed to tell me I am fine. When I try and work at my job or even my household chores, it’s like people are disappointed that I don’t want to take the easy way out. When people ask me if I am feeling bad and I respond with no, it’s like they’re disappointed to hear I am doing well.

JUST BECAUSE I AM PLUS SIZE DOES NOT MEAN I CAN NOT BE HEALTHY OR HAVE A HEALTHY pregnancy!

The only request I have made, is to not be asked to participate in outside events. We live in Alabama and it is hotter than Satan’s armpit. Being out in it makes me sweat and swell and results in a bad attitude. But yet, everyone rolls their eyes like oh of course she doesn’t want to do anything because she is chunky. No. I’ll go, but the mood swings will hit you full force.

So over it. If you can’t be positive or uplifting or even understanding at this point, your loss. 🤷🏼‍♀️
