Opinions?
I have an extremely negative body image and always feel like I need to lose 20-30 # (even when it's not realistic...I have been a chronic yo yo dieter in the past and I think that among other things has been the main reason for how I view myself). It doesn't always help that my husband is in near perfect health and condition lol. We are about to start really TTC this month but I am terrified that I am too overweight right now and I have a fear of getting bigger than I am now during a pregnancy. I am looking for non biased opinions since all my friends and family and husband would obviously just tell me I am beautiful no matter what I weigh (for some reason this does nothing for me and I know it should)...do any of you think I should lose some weight before we start trying? Do I look very overweight? I am asking honestly because at this point it is hard for me to not see myself as being almost 200# (that is how much I weighed out of college). This picture was taken last week on a cruise. I am 5'1" and I couldn't tell you what i weigh now because I'm scared to look since we ate a ton of food last week haha but I'm somewhere around 150 in this picture I would guess. I lift weights 5 times a week and do cardio/HIIT intervals 4times a week and my diet is good. It is hard for me to not focus on the number despite knowing I do have quite a bit of muscle mass. Is it easy to manage how much weight I gain during a pregnancy If I continue with my diet and exercise as it is now?..sorry for rambling!! Has anyone else had this fear??? 😔
