Pregnancy & Parenting Wanted: A support buddy Aug 05 2008
07:58 (UTC)

Hi! I'd like a support buddy too...

I have only 1 child, almost 3 yrs, and I want to try again (NOW), but can't do it at this weight. I was 155-160 when I got pregnant (a bit heavy for me), and 210? at delivery. I lost loads, and was down to 165, but am back up to 175-180 now. :(

I breastfed my sweet girl until she was two, and thought it would melt off after that when I had my hormones back to myself. Silly!

I also want to eat sensibly, healthy, and love love sweets too much. I work at home, and find the isolation stressful. I'd love some companionship to share positive support!

Wow, thank you so much for this post. I am in tears! My little one is 2 1/2 yrs old. 

I have 45 lbs to lose (roughly) and after I lost the first 25 lbs, I gained it all back. I know it was because of shame/fear/disrespect for this mother-body AND mother-lifestyle I have now. I breastfed until she was 2, and thought the weight would melt off afterwards, or my appetite/habits would suddenly disappear.

I realize my dear body needs some lovings now, after all this amazing work.

I'm so grateful for your beautiful words!
