Alright, so I’m currently in my first trimester of pregnancy and told some immediate family about it already since I stay home alone when my husband leaves town for work often. Well another fact is that I’m overweight and I clearly know that. I’m not blind, and I’ve tried to loose weight before the baby but it’s so hard for me to loose some pounds. Well now that I’m pregnant I keep getting family telling me what to eat and basically try and talk to me about it like I’m a child. They say I should eat more fruits and veggies (which I’ve already been doing for months!) and that I should exercise more. My father even told me to continue dieting so I can loose weight and not gain anything while pregnant. I understand their concerns and I’m already taking precautions for this pregnancy, but being constantly reminded that I’m fat is just pissing me off! I had to secretly cry in the shower a few times already because I feel so low! These hormones aren’t helping either. They say I’m getting fatter but I’ve already lost 12 pounds since finding out I’m pregnant. I just feel like all this unsolicited advice is doing more harm to me and it’s like they can’t even see it. Okay, enough ranting for now. It felt good to get that off my chest.
