The Fat Positive Lounge

I know this is going to sound SO contradictory but the sight of a pregnant body is so repulsive to me. Its a gut reaction, and it stems from my two very difficult pregnancies. One ended in a horrible bloody miscarriage where I almost died, and the second was a live birth (thank GOD) that I lived every day for nine months in misery, physically and mentally. Pregnancy was SO revolting to me that I had my tubes tied as soon as my daughter was born.

In saying this, I could not finish watching that video. I had No problem with any of the photos where a woman was not pregnant. But oh boy....the pregnant photos brought me back...

its funny how some things are triggers for one person and joyous celebrations for others.

I started a new thread called Fat Words because I need some help in writing an article. I didnt want to ask in here, because I am asking for words that hurt, and this is SUCH a positive thread and I want to maintain that. But if you would like to help me would you please meander over to the other thread? Caution: This could be triggery. If you can bear it, please help. If not, I totally understand and I am sorry for your pain...

I enjoy coming in here, it's been a while since I posted. I was struggling with gaining weight. It happened when I quit a thyroid med, I was happy I could quit, and I had been pudgy before but a lot of weight piled on. I was miserable with the new pounds. I was downright hateful to myself at first, barely looked in the mirror, was begrudging about the fact I needed some larger clothes. I have embraced it more, I am happy to say I am much kinder to myself and feel better. Whether I lose it or not, it will not stop me from doing my best to look pretty and smile at myself in the mirror. Thank you all for a good example.
