I grew up in a home where skinny was the only good way to look. Ironic because my mom is plus sized, my grand was plus sized, me and my sister were always plus sized yet everyone in my family puts down being big and taught us to think if your big you’ll never be as good as someone who is small. Well I’ll be 26w with baby #2 tomorrow and I absolutely hate the way I look. I look disgusting and fat and I don’t even resemble pregnancy. I hate that I can’t be like the Pinterest pregnancy women. After my first one I planned on dieting and losing my weight again (I had gone from 190 to below 112 when I dieted in my teens) but life worked out a different plan and my prepregnancy weight was 235 and I’m only 5’5 .. I worked really hard to get down to 230 by the start of the second trimester but I’m up to 238 now and I hate myself. I caught glimpse of myself from my daughter’s bathroom (where I took the pic) and I instantly felt so depressed. So please share something encouraging or relatable thank you 😩😩

(PS this mirror is basically my toddler’s and we like to hold her up hence the smudges are top to bottom of it)
