I feel bad about losing the weight
Today my first baby would have been 1 years old and I would have been 4 months pregnant with my second. Both were lost at 10 weeks. I gained about 30 pounds with both pregnancies (I didn't have morning sickness, I just ate like a pig. There was NEVER enough food). I did not mind the weight after the first one too much, but told myself I should loose it. After putting on an additional 30 pounds with the second, I am now 60 pounds heavier than I want/should be. A lot of that weight is visible as a belly, which makes me still feel like I am 10 weeks pregnant, and I like that feeling because I really want to be pregnant.
I started Weight Watchers, lost 15 pounds in 3 weeks and felt great, until I realized my belly was disappearing. I hate the way I look, but my belly has become my comfort. I stopped my diet and my belly is back.
I feel quilty about loosing the weight because I feel like I am getting rid of the only physical evidence I am have of being pregnant.
Have any of you felt this way?
I'm the opposite. I've been trying to lose weight with all of my pregnancies and I'm about 30 lbs over what I would say was normal before all of the losses. I haven't found a system that works for me that fits my budget. I'm just trying to eat healthy and fit in the exercise. I think it would be better to have a rainbow baby, then a belly that reminds you of your losses. I hope you lose the guilt, lose the weight and gain a a baby soon.
In a way yes and in a way no. I have finally decided I want a rainbow baby more then Iwant ot hang onto something that reminds me of my losses so I am getting healthy and in shape so I am super healthy for whne I get pregnant iwth their sibling.
