Good Morning Ladies! Just wanted to reach out and see if anyone else is feeling as weird as I am about constant attention to my abdominal region. I've always been a bigger girl, making attempts to feel skinnier or smaller, with my stomach being one of the key target areas. Today I was told I "officially have a bump" (not post-eating bloat belly) which I feel like I should be more excited about. But, I end up feeling like I need to "suck it in" to draw less attention until it's more of a "real bump." I haven't really gained much weight elsewhere, just still feeling vulnerable. Anyone else feel this way? Just wanted to show support and see if I'm not alone. It's a little bit of a body dysmorphic feeling for sure.
