..when you realize you're fat after having the baby but you still want sugar and ice cream? Ugh! I'm whining, yes I know, but girls....it's so discouraging to look in the mirror! I put on five pounds and trust me it was not five pounds of muscle. Do you know what five pounds of fat looks like? I've only been back to workouts for a week. This is where I have to follow my own advice-it is going to take a little time and effort to undo all those eskimo pies and "fuck it I'm pregnant" eating habits I embraced.
Waaaaaaa!
Well, here's the little guy I brought into the world.

no that is not what they mean by PostPartum Depression. I had it and trust me if you do you will know that it is not just food cravings. It is horrible and I am still dealing with the outcomes months later.

agreed, that has nothing to do with postpartum depression, I had it and it was really bad. I was suicidal from it after both my kids. Nasty postpartum depression is something causes women to kill their babies. They feel completely F'd up emotionally and look at the baby and think this is your fault, if I didn't have you I'd be ok. I know that cause I felt it after my son was born and its a horrible thing. What you are feeling sucks but it could be a lot worse

nope not post-partum
I had it. Not a pretty thing to go through. I was convinced my son would be better off without me, I had massive emotional break downs like once a month, when I looked in a mirror I saw a monster-a fraud-a thing that didn't deserve to be alive....
Your having image issues...just don't let it progress to haterd of yourself and resentment towards the baby.
