Dreading the holidays

Ni

I’m 5 months post partum, I lost the water weight quickly but I’m breastfeeding and ravenous so I’m not close to my pre-preggers weight. Plus, I was already about 40lb overweight when I got pregnant. The in laws are in town for thanksgiving and the weight comments have already started ☹️ I was feeling good about myself too! I have my beautiful healthy baby, finished school, just got a new job, moved to a new place, started kick boxing/lifting, but first thing they say is “girl I didn’t even recognize you! You got so big!” Feeling down and need some encouragement 💕
