Feeling like jabba the hut
I gained 50lbs during pregnancy and have only lost 20 so far (6weeks pp). This is really difficult for me because I used to be pretty big, I had a failed gastric bypass surgery in 2014 where I had tons of complications and was only able to lose 80lbs from my starting weight (310lbs). I worked really hard to lose those 80lbs, changed my eating habits and became active. Gaining 30lbs makes me feel like shit. It's all in my gut and back.
I'm exclusively breastfeeding and my daughter is somewhat demanding, very colicky and attached to my hip. I only eat what my mom makes us, which isn't always healthy, and is almost never balanced.
I don't have time to do my hair properly. My pregnancy acne never went away. I feel so ugly that I wince when I walk by a full body mirror.
I have permanent vision damage from having severe postpartum preeclampsia, and I couldn't afford cute glasses so now I can also look forward to looking like Mrs potato head.
I wish I could ban all mirrors from existence until I'm able to diet and exercise again.
I'm sorry for sounding so vain. My daughter is worth everything I have/will ever sacrifice for her but I can't help but feel like an ugly sack of poop.
