I just had to share how much I truly struggled with my self confidence through out my entire first pregnancy. You honestly couldn’t even tell I was pregnant until I was about 30 weeks along and then I ended up having my daughter 5 weeks later. When I all of a sudden disappeared from work for a month most people had no idea where I was because they didn’t even know I was pregnant. Because of my weight I have struggled with mental health issues since I was 16 years old (I’m now 30) and never in a million years did I think i would still to this day hear the teasing voices haunting me. I’m now on my second pregnancy. I’m sure since taking care of a 1 year old requires a lot of energy and on top of that working full time in a nursing home I have managed to stay more active than I’ve been used to most of my life. I’m 14 weeks pregnant and snapped this picture in the bathroom at work, and for the first time was proud of how far I’ve come. Am I still overweight? Yes. Do I still weigh close to 300lbs? Yep. But here I am carrying the most precious gift one can possibly be given inside of me, and for that I will ALWAYS be thankful for.
